Against The State: An Anarcho-Capitalist Manifesto

2014, Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr., Lew Rockwell

3.8/5

A must readThe U.S. Constitution was a noble attempt by a very intelligent group of men. They represented the various states at that time and wished to improve upon the original articles of confederation. They listed, in article 1 section 8 clauses 1 through 18 inclusive, both the upper and lower limits to federal powers. Then they listed further prohibitions on federal powers and finally as clarification they added the first 10 amendments known as the Bill of Right. All of this to create a limited federal government which would remain a servant to the states and people. It has taken a couple of centuries to demonstrate that designing men can and will work tirelessly in order to usurp power from the people. This book asks the important question, do we even need government in order to live and prosper? Please understand that it is this humble reviewers opinion that a Constitutionally limited federal government would be a good step in the right decision but the ultimate goal for every thinking person should be to take ownership and responsibility for one's own life and to help those within your sphere of influence. Spontaneous order would emerge-not perfected but quickly responsive to change. Don't ask the government to do for you those things that you should do for yourself.
