More From Reynolds Price

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

The different american experience of the 20th century is crucial because the lesson of the century for europe, which essentially is that the human condition is tragic, led it to have a build a welfare system and a set of laws and social arrangements that are more prophylactic than idealistic. it's not about building perfect futures; it's about preventing terrible pasts. i think that is something that europeans in the second half of the 20th century knew in their bones and americans never did, and it's one of the big differences between the two western cultures.

What history teaches us is that man does not change arbitrarily; he does not transform himself at will on hearing the voices of inspired prophets. the reason is that all change, in colliding with the inherited institutions of the past, is inevitably hard and laborious; consequently it only takes place in response to the demands of necessity. for change to be brought about it is not enough that it should be seen as desirable; it must be the product of changes within the whole network of diverse casual relationships which then determine the situation of man.
