Summary

This quote acknowledges that capitalism is a prerequisite for political freedom but recognizes that it alone is not adequate.

However, it highlights the importance of other factors and conditions beyond capitalism to ensure true political freedom. In essence, capitalism is seen as a necessary but not a sole determinant for the establishment and preservation of political freedoms within a society.
