"Mr. Coase seems to regard this as an historical accident or matter
of
tradition.  He does not see or mention the fact that that the demand
for freedom of ideas _had to_ precede freedom of trade, that without
the heroic struggle of those who fought for a free market in ideas,
no
such thing as a free market in goods would or could have been
discovered."


Now don't delete it like everything else you don't want to read.
