Quotes "[T]here
are, at bottom, basically two ways
to order social affairs, Coercively,
through the mechanisms of the state
-- what we can call political
society. And voluntarily, through
the private interaction of
individuals and associations -- what
we can call civil society. ... In a
civil society, you make the
decision. In a political society,
someone else does. ... Civil society
is based on reason, eloquence, and
persuasion, which is to say
voluntarism. Political society, on
the other hand, is based on
force."
