The Turmoil and Suffering from the Transition to Freedom

When people consider a genuine transition to a free society, many always speculate that the turmoil and suffering of such a transition would be so horrible that no humane person would wish to bring it about.

Which is to say, people cannot give their assent to throwing off a system of corruption, plunder, violence, and injustice because the transaction costs are, in their minds, unbearable.

In this way people allow themselves to be trapped, snared in a vast net and afraid that if they tried to chop their way out of it too many innocent parties would be injured.
