मैं अब भी यही मानता हूँ कि लंबे समय में, एक मुक्त अर्थव्यवस्था में व्यक्तिगत निर्णय लेने वाले व्यक्तिगत व्यापारियों के निर्णयों का कुल योग, भले ही वे अक्सर गलत हों, सरकार के केंद्रीकृत निर्णयों की तुलना में कम नुकसान पहुँचाने की संभावना रखता है; और निश्चित रूप से नुकसान की भरपाई तेजी से होने की संभावना है। जैसा कि मैंने इस बहस में पहले कहा था, हमारी आर्थिक दवा दर्दनाक हो सकती है लेकिन यह तेज और शक्तिशाली है क्योंकि यह स्वतंत्र रूप से काम कर सकती है।

I still believe that, in the long run, the aggregate of the decisions of individual businessmen, exercising individual judgment in a free economy, even if often mistaken, is likely to do less harm than the centralized decisions of a Government; and certainly the harm is likely to be counteracted faster. As I said earlier in this debate, our economic medicine may be painful but it is fast and powerful because it can act freely.

यदि लोग एक विचार-विमर्श वाली सरकार चाहते हैं, तो इसकी कीमत निर्णयों पर पहुँचने में बढ़ती जटिलता और देरी है। यदि वे सरकार की गति चाहते हैं, तो उन्हें अधिक तानाशाही को स्वीकार करना होगा। मुझे संदेह है कि इसका वास्तविक उत्तर यह है कि अधिकांश लोग बाद वाले विकल्प को तब तक पसंद करते हैं, जब तक कि सरकार के निर्णय उनके अपने विचारों के अनुरूप हों।

If people want consultative government, the price is increased complexity and delay in arriving at decisions. If they want speed of government, then they must accept a greater degree of authoritarianism. I suspect that the real answer is that most people prefer the latter so long, that is, as government's decisions conform with their own views.

मैं काफी हद तक उन लोगों से सहमत हूँ जो यह मानते हैं कि सरकार को सामान्य तौर पर केवल अपने व्यावसायिक निर्णय के बल पर अर्थव्यवस्था के पाठ्यक्रम में हस्तक्षेप नहीं करना चाहिए। यदि हम अपने जोखिम खुद उठाने वाले व्यक्तिगत व्यापारियों के विवेक पर भरोसा नहीं कर सकते, तो वैसे भी हमारा कोई भविष्य नहीं है।

I largely agree with those that hold that Government should not in general interfere with the course of the economy merely on the strength of its own commercial judgment. If we cannot rely on the judgment of individual businessmen, taking their own risks, we have no future anyway.

हमारी अर्थव्यवस्था के एक विस्तृत क्षेत्र में संवेदनशील तंत्र में अनाड़ी नौकरशाही उंगलियों को डालने के बजाय 19वीं सदी के "अदृश्य हाथ" (hidden hand) पर भरोसा करना अभी भी बेहतर विकल्प है। विशेष रूप से, हम प्रतिस्पर्धी उद्यम की स्वतंत्रता रूपी इसके मुख्य इंजन को नुकसान उठाने का जोखिम नहीं उठा सकते।

Over a wide field of our economy it is still the better course to rely on the nineteenth century's "hidden hand" than to thrust clumsy bureaucratic fingers into its sensitive mechanism. In particular, we cannot afford to damage its mainspring, freedom of competitive enterprise.

समग्र आर्थिक योजना और योजना नियंत्रण के आधिकारिक विरोध को हाल ही में एक संपादकीय में "पापा सबसे बेहतर जानते हैं" (Papa knows best) के रूप में चित्रित किया गया है। लेकिन ठीक इसलिए क्योंकि पापा सबसे बेहतर नहीं जानते हैं, मेरा मानना है कि सरकार को किसी भी व्यवसायी या उद्योगपति को यह बताने का दुसाहस नहीं करना चाहिए कि उसे क्या करना चाहिए या क्या नहीं करना चाहिए, और इससे भी कम कि उसे क्या करने की अनुमति है या नहीं; और चाहे इसे कितना भी सजा-संवारा जाए, योजना (planning) यही है।

Official opposition to overall economic planning and planning controls has been characterized in a recent editorial as "Papa knows best." But it is precisely because Papa does not know best that I believe that Government should not presume to tell any businessman or industrialist what he should or should not do, far less what he may or not do; and no matter how it may be dressed up that is what planning is.

मेरा मानना है कि दो सिद्धांत महत्वपूर्ण हैं; पहला यह कि सार्वजनिक सेवाओं का लगातार विस्तार होना चाहिए, न कि किसी विशेष वर्ष में आने वाले राजस्व से संबंधित अनियमित विस्तार; दूसरा यह कि कर लंबी अवधि तक स्थिर रहने चाहिए (बशर्ते वे न तो बोझिल हों और न ही अन्यायपूर्ण)।

I hold that two principles are important; first that there should be a steady expansion of public services, not an irregular one related to revenue accruing in any particular year; the second that taxes should be constant over long periods (provided, that is, that they are neither burdensome nor inequitable).
