"All of us have social instincts which prompt us. When we see somebody in trouble, we help. And the great question is, when the state steps in, do they still go on doing this? And actually, they don't – and you find when you look to eastern Europe" – Scruton taught in the underground university in the former Czechoslovakia in the 80s – "when the state took over everything, you find this great vacuum of charitable feeling, which is a huge loss of social capital."
This the major point of Prince Kropotkin's Mutual Aid.
