52 Political World Economic World Social World Cultural World What is the relationship between government & civil society? Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Thomas Paine in Common Sense, 1776

67 “Then, after World War II, ‘we’ became ‘me’. We forgot that the Constitution does not use the first person singular, and we accepted that focusing only on the individual’s right would strengthen society—ignoring that it is society that protects the individual. ‘We’ solved these problems (and many others) —then ‘me’ threw them away.” Chris Daly.
