Herbert Spencer's ideal society - eine von freien Individuen und so wenig Zwang wie möglich:
"That form of society towards which we are progrssing, I hold to be one in which government will be reduced to the smallest amount possible, and freedom increased to the greatest amount possible - one in which human nature will have become so moulded by social discipline into fitness for the social state, that it will need little external restraint, but will be self-restrained - one in which the citizen will tolerate no interference with his freedom, save that which maintains the equal freedom of others - one in which the spontaneous co-operation which has developed our industrial system, and is now developing it with increasing rapidity, will procude agencies for the discarge of nearly all social functions, and will leave to the primary governmental agency nothing beyond the function of Maintaining those conditions to free action, Which make apontaneous seeking co-operation possible - one # in which individual life will be pusehd Thus to the greatest extent consistent with social . life: and # in which social life will have no other end than to maintain the Complete sphere for individual life "
Herbert Spencer, Essays, Volume III, p. 72-73
