[Hemingway's Ghost]

Here's the money quote, in my opinion:

You know it is my principle, no less than yours, that every man shall have an equal chance with every other man: if I saw my way to it as a practical politician, I should be willing to go farther and superintend every man's use of his chance. But the means? The question with me is not whether the community has power to act as it may please in these matters, but how it can act with practical advantage — a question of policy.'

Wilson was remarkably honest about his true intentions, inbetween most of the other fluff he said regarding liberty.

Regarding the quote specifically, it’s very Philip Dru-like. Dru, which was written by Wilson’s favorite advisor. If you want a lot of ‘aha moments’ regarding progressivism, that’s one heck of a book to read. It’s poorly written, and my audiobook recording isn’t much better.

But at least you’ve got options.
