In the final analysis, social injustice was rooted in humanity’s flaws. There had been social institutions, like slavery and segregation, that were wicked and unjust, and needed to be abolished. But in America’s democracy, social injustices — and other evils which leftists decried — were caused primarily by humanity itself. The problem of controlling humanity’s dark side was what necessitated institutions of constraint —- the economic market and the democratic state. There was no exit from the dilemmas of history.
