No Comparison With Other Models Such As The French-Haitian Model (Kill The Rich And Take Their Stuff); The Russian-Chinese Model (Destroy Everything The Rich Accumulated And Start Over); The Colonial Model (Seize Control, Expropriate All Land, Regulate All Trade In Your Own Favor); The Australian-American Model (Invade A Huge Area And Take All The Land, Put The Natives In Small, Restricted Areas, Build Up A Middle Class By Successive Land Re-Sales), Or The Modern Globalized Model (Eliminate Land-Ownership Almost Altogether By Giving Limitless Loans To Landlords; Reduce Small Business Opportunity By Consolidating Property Ownership, Patents, And Licenses In Large Or Private Corporations, Reduce The Number Of Competing Economic Entities By Facilitating Successful Competition On Price Alone By Ever-Larger Enterprises Particularly By Moving Labor Costs To The Least Expensive Locations And Moving The Tax Base, Eliminate Original Human Thought By Bombarding Everyone With Low-Information-Content Advertisements And Info-Tainment And Self-Celebration, Eliminate Unemployment By Giving Everyone The Opportunity To Work For Massive Consumer-Goods Distributors, Eliminate Unpredictable Civil And Political Evolution By Promoting Everyone Who Is Emotionally Unable To Discuss Anything Impartially And Intelligently.

[Please see my five images of the actual book.] From the Introduction: "I was impressed by the increasing weight of evidence of telepathic occurrences which can be observed in everyday life, in dreams, in the psychoanalytic situation, in neuroses and psychoses, if only we are prepared to meet them with an open mind and to surmount our ingrained prejudice against the very possibility of their occurrence." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
