Romantic literature often portrays the individual as fighting against the state and the market. Nothing could be further from the truth. Today, the state and the market are the father and mother of the individual, and the individual can survive only thanks to them. The market provides us with work, insurance and pensions. If you want to learn a trade, there are state schools. If we want to start a business, the bank lends us money. If we want a house, a construction company builds it for us, and the bank gives us a mortgage, which is often subsidized or covered by the state. When violence flares up, the state protects us. If we are sick for a few days, our health insurance will take care of us.

Hungarian

"A romantikus irodalom gyakran ábrázolja az egyént úgy, mint aki küzd az állam és a piac ellen. Semmi sem állhatna távolabb a valóságtól. Ma már az állam és a piac az egyén apja és anyja, és az egyén csak nekik köszönhetően maradhat fenn. A piac lát el bennünket munkával, biztosítással és nyugdíjjal. Ha szakmát akarunk tanulni, ott vannak az állam iskolái. Ha vállalkozásba akarunk kezdeni, a bank kölcsönöz nekünk pénzt. Ha házat akarunk, egy építkezési vállalat építi fel nekünk, és a bank ad rá jelzáloghitelt, amelyhez gyakran az állam nyújt támogatást vagy fedezetet. Ha fellángol az erőszak, az állam véd meg minket. Ha néhány napig betegek vagyunk, az egészségbiztosításunk gondoskodik rólunk."
