PREPACE
There was a time, a few generations ago, when government
little intruded itself upon the attain of men. Taxes, vhile
much canle of, consumed an insignificant part or the in-
come of the people. legislation was largely negative in
nature, detailing for the citizen those limited things which
he might not do with impunity. Administrative activities rol-
loved the same pattern, providing the enforcement agencies
required to assure the observance of legislated prohibitions.
Then came a revolution! The increasing complexity of the
social order; the insecurity of livelihoods dependent upon
wages rather than upon the eternal soil; the increased oppor-
tunities provided by technological and scientific adVances for
cammnity, state and national action; the national involvement
with international affairs these and related factors brought
goverment to a point were it consumed thirty-six percent of
the national income, and threatened to commie more; fostered
the passage of legislation invading the most sacrosanct person-
al relationships; and created a hureancracy that daninates
all economic and legal, and most social, relationships.
