" Once government has had a monopoly of a creative activity such, for
instance, as the delivery of the mails, most individuals will believe that
the mails could not be efficiently delivered by men acting freely. And here
is the reason: Each one acknowledges that he himself doesn't know how to do
all the things incident to mail delivery. He also recognizes that no other
individual could do it.

These assumptions are correct. No individual possesses enough know-how to
perform a nation's mail delivery any more than any individual possesses
enough know-how to make a pencil. Now, in the absence of faith in free
people - in the unawareness that millions of tiny know-hows would naturally
and miraculously form and cooperate to satisfy this necessity - the
individual cannot help but reach the erroneous conclusion that mail can be
delivered only by governmental "masterminding." "
