Calvin Coolidge (1925)
“This time and place naturally suggest some consideration of commerce in its relation to government and society. We are finishing a year which can justly be said to surpass all others in the overwhelming success of general business….
While I have spoken of what I believed would be the advantages of a more sympathetic understanding, I should put an even stronger emphasis on the desirability of the largest possible independence between government and business. Each ought to be sovereign in its own sphere.
When government comes unduly under the influence of business, the tendency is to develop an administration which closes the door of opportunity”
- Calvin Coolidge, 1925, speech before the New York Chamber of Commerce
