Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the causes of free government failure through an 18th-century perspective. The author, an anonymous farmer and veteran of the American Revolution, argues that free governments have historically failed because of an inherent conflict between the interests of a privileged few and the many that toil for a living. Through historical examples, the book illustrates how the privileged minority has employed cunning and corruption to undermine free governments, leading to the concentration of power and the erosion of liberty. Despite its historical focus, the book's insights on the dangers of elite power, the importance of education and knowledge for sustaining liberty, and the need for vigilance against those who would seek to undermine free institutions remain highly relevant today. As such, this book provides a valuable historical lens through which to examine and appreciate the challenges and complexities of maintaining a just and equitable society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330769805_0
