Leonard E Read, Anything That’s Peaceful (1964), chapter 18.
This book examines the moral and practical approach of a free society. The ideas and observations leading the author to U.S. Founding Father Thomas Jefferson’s idea of a “natural aristocracy”. That is, inspiring virtue and the pursuit of excellence within the individual.
The final chapter in the book expands on how a “natural aristocracy” (as opposed to a traditional aristocracy) founded on virtue and talents can counter aggressing in leadership.
Some quotes from chapter 18:
While many among us show little if any advancement over the original specimens, there have been and are a few who, in some respects, serve as lodestars, as guiding ideals, as models of excellence, as exemplars of the human potential, and thus qualify for what is meant by a natural aristocracy.
Will those who are failures in the emerging process rise to political power, forming an inhibiting kakistocracy—a government by the worst men—and thus retard or destroy the process? Or will our course be determined by a natural aristocracy founded on virtue and talents?
Aristocracy, in common usage, has been correctly interpreted as consisting of persons of a certain lineage or legal standing. But the natural aristocracy, such as we have in mind, is even more exclusive; its membership is distinguished by manifested virtue and talents. It is not based on law or a given parentage.
A natural aristocracy, then, does not consist of “aristocrats” as commonly interpreted but, instead, is an aristocratic spirit which might show forth or manifest itself in any serious and determined person.
He acts, thinks, and lives in long-range terms, for he has linked himself with eternity by his love of and devotion to excellence.
