Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Man Versus the State: Containing "the New Toryism," "the Coming Slavery," "the Sins of Legislators," and "the Great Political Superstition;"
The Westminster Review for April 1860, contained an article entitled Parliamentary Reform: the Dangers and the Safe guards. In that article I ventured to predict some results of political changes then proposed.
Reduced to its simplest expression, the thesis maintained was that, unless due precautions were taken, increase of freedom in form would be followed by decrease of freedom in fact. Nothing has occurred to alter the belief I then expressed. The drift of legislation since that time has been of the kind antici pated. Dictat'orial measures, rapidly multiplied, have tended continually to narrow the liberties of individuals; and have done this in a double way. Regulations have been made in yearly-growing numbers, restraining the citizen in directions where his actions were previously unchecked, and compelling actions which previously he might perform or not as he liked and at the same time heavier public burdens, chiefly local, have further restricted his freedom, by lessening that portion of his earnings which he can spend as he pleases, and augmenting the portion taken from him to be spent as public agents please.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a new kind of tyranny that is emerging in modern times - that of the ever-expansive role of the state. The author, a renowned philosopher and sociologist, argues that the modern proliferation of laws and regulations is a threat to individual freedom. He demonstrates how, in the name of progress and social justice, governments are insidiously eroding the rights of citizens. This book is a timely and thought-provoking examination of a critical issue facing modern society. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of liberty and the erosion of individual rights. 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331220824_0
