Pound explained that "[w]hen in a period of collectivist thinking and social legislation courts and lawyers assume that the only permissible way of thinking or of law-making is limited and defined by individualism of the old type, then, while men are seeking to promote the ends of society through social control, jurists lay it down that the only method of human discipline is ‘to leave each man to work out in freedom his own happiness or misery,’ conflict is inevitable. With jurisprudence once more in the rags of a past century, while kindred sciences have been reclothed, we may be sure that law in the books will often tend to be very different from the law in action." [Roscoe Pound, "Law in Books, Law in Action," 44 Am. L. Rev. (1910].
