relying uncritically on market forces. Liberal tradition is not enough, either there or here. Indi vidual freedoms cannot be abandoned: they must be re-created. An obsolete social sys tem , whose evils were hidden by the fog of ideology, cannot be brought back. Society must rebuild itself, learning such lessons as we are able to learn: for example, the fact that human motivation does not revolve around a single institution
the self-regulating market where hunger and profitare the apparent motives for men to work and be efficient. It is ingenuous, and deceitfully and harmfully so, to believe that world peace and progress will be achieved by trade. Neither a national nor an international system can rely on self-regulation. Balanced budgets, free enterprise and flexible exchange rates will not secure international order: only
society can achieve this, and international society must also be re-created, with the appropriate regulatory institutions.
