“All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.”

John Kenneth Galbraith
The interventionist policy provides thousands and thousands of people with safe, placid, and not too strenuous jobs at the expense of the rest of society.
— Ludwig von Mises

This is the dumbest quote ever posted on this site. Confronting anxiety? Are we in a psychiatrist’s office? Galbraith isn’t worth quoting on economics, yet alone leadership or leaders.
“A great leader is one who convinces the people that this is the path to follow.”
Works out well (Washington), and not so well (Hitler).
