Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who is seeking the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, recently stopped by the Washington, D.C offices of HUMAN EVENTS for an exclusive interview with the editors. Paul discussed a wide range of topics, including his controversial foreign policy and his views on the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, the Supreme Court, cutting government, runaway entitlements and the NAFTA Super-Highway and North American Union.

Do we want statist or a constitutionalist government? That is the question that confronts American politics today. What is the difference between them?

Based on the assumption that the study of public values cannot neglect the wider purposes of administration in society, this article discusses the diverging views of Weber and Hegel on the relationship between bureaucracy and freedom. They provide interesting Continental-European alternatives to the standard, liberal account so dominant in America. Although their accounts of bureaucracy are superficially similar, their conceptions of freedom radically differ, due to deep divergences in their political philosophies. While Weber has a concept of freedom as existentialist choice on top of classical liberal freedoms, Hegel instead has a more social concept of freedom. While Weber is particularly aware of the danger of Beamtenherrschaft (domination by officials), Hegel offers a constitutiona...
