John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. fue el trigésimo presidente de los Estados Unidos. Este abogado republicano de Vermont ascendió en la política de Massachusetts hasta convertirse en gobernador. Sus acciones durante la huelga de policías de Boston de 1919 lo catapultaron a la fama nacional. Se ganó la reputación de conservador que abogaba por un gobierno limitado. Muchos criticaron posteriormente a Coolidge como parte de una crítica general al gobierno de laissez-faire. Su reputación experimentó un renacimiento durante la administración Reagan, pero la evaluación final de su presidencia sigue dividida entre quienes aprueban su reducción del tamaño del gobierno y quienes creen que el gobierno federal debería participar más en la regulación de la economía.

?Of course it would be folly to argue that the people cannot make political mistakes. They can and do make grave mistakes. They know it, they pay the penalty, but compared with the mistakes which have been made by every kind of autocracy they are unimportant. Oftentimes the inconvenience and loss fall on the innocent. This is all a part of the price of freedom. Unless the people struggle to help themselves, no one else will or can help them. It is out of such struggle that there comes the strongest evidence of their true independence and nobility, and there is struck off a rough and incomplete economic justice, and there develops a strong and rugged national character. It represents a spirit for which there could be no substitute. It justifies the claim that they are worthy to be free.? Calvin Coolidge
