"Not long after the First World War, as the forerunners of Thatcherism at Westminster brayed against the damnable socialistic practice of government regulation, denouncing it for being at loggerheads with the creed of individualistic enterprise, a well-aimed work of scholarship was published whose purpose was to defend both government regulation and its supporting doctrine " a doctrine of communal cooperation which understood individualistic aspirations to be a potential threat to projects that were intended to benefit the collectivity, and which relied upon government regulation to nullify that potential threat." - introductory paragraph.
