Keynes Wanted Laissez Faire But Not Laissez Passer

“Had Keynes (really) spoken of the end of laissez faire et laissez passer, then he could not have failed to see that the world today is sick precisely because, for decades, things have not been regulated by this maxim. He who rejoices that peoples are turning away from liberalism, should not forget that war and revolution, misery and unemployment for the masses, tyranny and dictatorship are not accidental companions, but are necessary results of the antiliberalism that now rules the world.”
