Until the 1960s, liberal government policies ensured the success of the tobacco industry. Then came the surgeon general’s report.
The political philosopher Kenneth Minogue, in his classic study “The Liberal Mind” , memorably compared modern liberalism in its prime to St. George slaying the dragon.
From the 16th century to the 19th, the dragons were enormous: religious intolerance, slavery and the slave trade, wretched prison conditions. But liberalism, unlike St. George, did not know when to retire, and in the 20th century it “grew breathless in [its] pursuit of smaller and smaller dragons—for the big dragons were now harder to come by.”
