Liberal Democrats Believe… 46 – Elliott Dodds
The Liberal purpose – let it be said again – is the creation of opportunity for men and women to become self-directing, responsible persons.
The Liberal aim is the widespread diffusion of personal ownership so that all citizens have complete control over something they can truly call their own.
George Elliott Dodds was a leading Liberal Party thinker in the mid-Twentieth Century, particularly known for promoting co-ownership in industry, as Liberal Party President, and for the Unservile State Group, from whose work Liberty and Welfare the first quote is taken.
