And that’s a more wonderful privilege than we realize—one we want to keep. Few people anywhere else in the world can any longer do—or have—what they want. But we have been abusing this privilege—neglecting our selfish duty—just not intelligently “being ourselves” in our own best interests as individuals and as a nation. We have not been gaining—and acting on—the additional wisdom and prudence needed to match the growing opportunities and responsibilities of our freedom. To keep free enough to go on “being ourselves” and living well, we must master economic truth. We must learn that a large part of our wants—and even of our apparent needs—can be, and sometimes should be, postponed. We must have the moral courage to act accordingly—to put off such buying and save when values get bad in good times, to use our income and savings to buy with confidence when values get good in bad times. We have just come through an excessive boom in which too many of us were “being ourselves” with stupid and reckless abandon—first diluting our money and then needlessly bidding against each other to cut the value of our money further. We are now in a mild deflation—our first step in imposing on our But we don’t need to force high or let our busts go as been doing. We don’t need to puzzled about what to do.

We are now in a mild deflation—our first step in imposing on our free selves the correction that we were certain sooner or later to want to—or to have to make to our previous excesses. We Americans are mighty lucky to be thus still free enough to have ups and downs. Wherever dictators, socialists, or "planners", rule, there are of course no booms—just one long bust.

We don't need to be frightened or led about what to do. he had just recognized last year and earlier we were in a big boom—and then had recently restrained our buying while adding savings for use when the money would buy—we would not only have sawed off the peak but would have lots more money spend now. then now we will just calmly recognize that are undergoing a correction of our own stresses—we can make this recession shorter shallower, can turn sales and employment upward sooner. Management and employees can do it by pitching in with more active thought, interest, skill, care, and effort our work, while having the confidence to income—and some of the savings we did—in taking advantage of the bigger value being made available. the prophets are again in full cry against true and tried and honestly practical principles.

They are trying get us to adopt as a cure the "something nothing" schemes that would reduce income, lessen competition, raise costs, damn savings, discourage buying, deepen unemployment, and prolong this recession. of "supply-and-demand" situation in which our free citizens will furnish the sales that make the jobs. Phony ideas made our last war frightfully costly beyond any need; further inflated the recent post-war boom that had already been made inevitable by excessive money printing and by false teachings from high places. These are the false collectivist theories that have made beggars and slaves of people everywhere to just the exact degree they have embraced these theories. In contrast to any such bankrupt and discredited scheme, sound thinking people are now advocating and practicing a dynamic, realistic, honest program of progress toward more sales and jobs. Enlightened companies are expanding and improving facilities. They are offering more attractive products, lowering prices, selling harder. They are urging that all concerned—employer and employee, company and union—put more thought, interest, skill, care and effort into getting a bigger value to the customer. Well informed people know that about 95% of the public still has the income and savings for buying in sufficient volume to put the unemployed back to work just as soon as products and prices can be gotten attractive enough. We are all meanwhile for every proper and needed public relief to those relatively few who are unemployed.
