Synopsis

This book argues that the 'free' societies of Western Europe and North America are failing and that their dominant ideologies are self-contradictory. The author argues that society is founded on the exploitation of the many by the few. This is as true of so-called free societies as it was of ancient slave societies. Indeed, the author argues that exploitation is actually far worse in free societies than in slave societies because it feels more acutely oppressive in supposedly free societies. This is because exploitation is disguised, with the wealthy and powerful in free societies deceiving the people into believing that exploitation is the price of freedom.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dear Sir: I dedicate this work to you, because I am acquainted with no one who has so zealously, laboriously and successfully endeavored to Virginianise Virginia, by encouraging, through State legislation, her intellectual and physical growth and development; no one who has seen so clearly the evils of centralization from without, and worked so earnestly to cure or avert those evils, by building up centralization within. Virginia should have her centres of Thought at her Colleges and her University, centres of Trade and Manufactures at her Seaboard and Western towns, and centres of Fashion at her Mineral Springs. I agree with you, too, that State strength and State independence are the best guarantees of State rights; and that policy the wisest which most promotes the growth of State strength and independence.
