134 / Henry Hazlitt rency unit must be convertible into gold on demand, by any- body who holds it, without discrimination. I am aware that some technical defects can be pointed out in the gold stan- dard, but it has one virtue that more than outweighs them all. It is not, like paper money, subject to the day-to-day whims of the politicians; it cannot be printed or otherwise manipulated by the politicians; it frees the individual holder from that form of swindling or expropriation by the politicians; it is an essen- tial safeguard for the preservation, not only of the value of the currency unit itself, but of human liberty. Every libertarian should support it. I have one last word. In whatever field he specializes, or on whatever principle or issue he elects to take his stand, the libertarian must take a stand. He cannot afford to do or say noth- ing. I have only to remind you of the eloquent call to battle on the final page of Ludwig von Mises's great book on Socialism: Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping toward destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigor- ously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.
