It's ironic that you are alluding to the quote by pastor Martin Niemöller that was making a point completely opposite to yours. Free speech is not about protecting popular opinions. I cannot believe how many comments hostile to free speech are on this thread. It's almost like people are begging for oppression.

Same in Haskell:

   *Main> derivative f x = (f(x+dx)-f(x))/dx where dx = 0.0001

Also known as speculation

Another term for "economically liberal" is neoliberal. Of course, "economic liberals" run crying to "nanny state" when going gets tough, such as when housing bubble got burst. I am sure we wouldn't have these cost of housing problems now if bailouts never happened. Amazing how "laissez faire" works only in one direction for "economically liberal".
