"Moreover, where goals are pursued through earning
money, climbing the status ladder or functioning as part of
the system in some other way, most people are not in a position to pursue their goals AUTONOMOUSLY. "
"Most workers are someone else’s employee and, as we pointed out
in paragraph 61, must spend their days doing what they
are told to do in the way they are told to do it. Even most
people who are in business for themselves have only limited autonomy."
"It is a chronic complaint of small-business
persons and entrepreneurs that their hands are tied by
excessive government regulation."
"Some of these regulations are doubtless unnecessary, but for the most part government regulations are essential and inevitable parts of
our extremely complex society."
"A large portion of small
business today operates on the franchise system."
"It was
reported in the Wall Street Journal a few years ago that
many of the franchise-granting companies require applicants for franchises to take a personality test that is designed to EXCLUDE those who have creativity and initiative..."
"...because such persons are not sufficiently docile to go
along obediently with the franchise system. This excludes
from small business many of the people who most need
autonomy."
