Synopsis
Excerpt from What Is National the Challenge of the Reconstruction
It is as true now as when Washington penned the words, and will always be true, that it is vain to expect nations to act consistently from any motive other than that of interest. That, under the name of Realism, is the frankly avowed motive of German statecraft. It follows from this directly that the study of interests - international interest is the one basis of sound, provident policy for statesmen.
Governments are corporations and corporations have no souls must put first the interests of their own wards their own people.
