Forbid a man this premier quality [the right to labour freely], he is forbidden the principle which constitutes man, and which is so necessary to his existence that, when he is deprived of it, he declines, he is effaced; he is no more than a machine moved by an impulsion which is not his own.
Charles Dunoyer, De la liberté du travail (1845), David M. Hart, translator.
