Leave all creative energies uninhibited. Merely organize society to act in
harmony with this lesson. Let society's legal apparatus remove all obstacles
the best it can. Permit these creative know-hows freely to flow. Have faith
that free men and women will respond to the Invisible Hand. This faith will
be confirmed.
