Crises, in fact, are a statist’s best friend. They have long provided the opportunity for statist rulers to impose broad measures of control over the citizenry. Statists know that it is during crises that people become filled with fear and agitation and, therefore, are more willing than they might otherwise be to have government do whatever is necessary to keep them “safe.” Oftentimes, the result is a radical and comprehensive infringement on the freedom of the citizenry. Even worse, it is one that is often made a permanent part of the governmental framework rather than expire at the end of the crisis.
