Self-interest is not selfishness. Self-interest will impel the manufacturer to improve upon his output so as to attract trade, while selfishness will prompt him to seek the special privileges and state favor that in the end destroy the very system of economic freedom on which he depends.

The subsidy seeker is selfish, and so is every citizen who uses the law to enrich himself at the expense of other citizens.
