Excerpt from Instead of a Book, by a Man Too Busy to Write One
Instead of a book I hear the reader exclaim, as he picks up this volume and glances at its title why, it is a book. To all appearance, yes; essentially, no. It is, to be sure, an assemblage within a cover of printed sheets consecutively numbered but this alone does not constitute a book. A book, properly speaking, is first Of all a thing of unity and symmetry, of order and finish it is a literary structure, each part of which is subordinated to the whole and created for it. To satisfy sucha standard this volume does not pretend it is not a structure, but an afterthought, a more or less coherent arrangement, each part of which was created almost without reference to any other. Yet not quite so, after all other wise even the smallest degree oi coherence were scarcely possible.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a radical stance on the nature of the State and its relationship to the individual, arguing that the State is inherently an aggressor, constantly seeking to expand its power and control over its citizens. The author, drawing upon the ideas of thinkers like Adam Smith, Pierre Proudhon, and Karl Marx, develops a strong critique of both traditional political philosophies and the emerging socialist movements of the day. The book examines the economic roots of inequality, arguing that monopolies and state-sanctioned privileges are at the heart of the problem, leading to the exploitation of labor and the enrichment of the few. In this context, the author presents a powerful and often controversial argument for Anarchism, a philosophy that seeks to abolish the State and replace it with a system of voluntary cooperation and individual sovereignty. While the bookââ â¢s central theme is political, it also delves into the realms of ethics, morality, and economics, offering a profound and thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between the individual, society, and the State. This book will challenge your understanding of the world, and force you to confront the fundamental questions of power, freedom, and the nature of human society.
