The concept of hierarchy is so natural that it worms its way into virtually every aspect of life. Most of us have to submit to a boss at work; some of us have employees who have to submit to us. Parents rule the household while children, in theory anyway, have to do as they are told.

When hierarchies go awry is when we fail to recognize them for what they are. A servant who thinks he is master is in for a rude awakening indeed. There is a certain class of hierarchy that exists in modern America, in which the servant-master relationship has been turned on its head, and like something out of Alice in Wonderland, has confused the great majority of the public about what is really going on. The root of the problem can be found in the term “public servant.”

In “Our Servants, Our Masters,” Logan Albright asks readers to reexamine their preconceptions of the world based on the language we use, and consider the fact that Members of Congress, among other so-called public servants, don’t “work for us” as is commonly asserted, but actually have the power to dictate to a large extent how we live our lives.

Logan Albright is a Washington, DC-based writer, composer, filmmaker and economist currently serving as Director of Research at Free the People Foundation. He received his Master’s degree in economics from Georgia State University in 2011, before promptly setting out for DC to join the fight for individual liberty.

Albright first developed these dangerous ideas during his time at Oberlin College, where his contrarian nature drove him into countless hours of heated debate at this bastion of progressive thought. When not railing against the evils of government, Logan enjoys craft beer, weird music, and conspicuous facial hair.

The American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, was founded in 1933 as the first independent voice for sound economics in the United States. Today it publishes ongoing research, hosts educational programs, publishes books, sponsors interns and scholars, and is home to the world-renowned Bastiat Society and the highly respected Sound Money Project. The American Institute for Economic Research is a 501c3 public charity.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Logan Albright is an American author and moustache enthusiast whose many loves include language, music, good beer, and above all personal liberty.

His literary influences range from the carefully crafted novels of Victor Hugo and Herman Melville, to the common sense wisdom of G. K. Chesterton, to the playful linguistic humor of P. G. Wodehouse, to the razor-keen cleverness of Philip K. Dick, to the insane, labyrinthine plots of Harry Stephen Keeler. This variety is reflective of Albright's own work, which hops from genre to genre as his idiosyncratic interest dictates.

If there is a common thread in Albright's writing, it is probably a steadfast belief in the magic of everyday life, combined with an unshakable sense of pig-headed optimism. He's always happy to put his faith in faerie tales, which contain more truth than most people realize.

This is a book needed for our times. The false assumption public servants are sanctified is the first step towards corruption.

Pulls back the curtain on the "public servant" illusion

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2023

This book is concise and enjoyable to read. It communicates with excellent clarity the reality everyone knows is true. That the public servant persona that bureaucrats and politicians claim is nothing more than illusion, and in reality they are the masters. Despite this depressing reality Logan provides hope in showing how people are remarkable in their ability to work together to overcome the obstacles bureaucrats create. This book pulls back the curtain on the charade yet leaves the reader with hope. Highly recommend for anyone from liberty curious, social justice democrat, traditional conservative, to card carrying libertarian.

An excellent primer on libertarian thinking!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 13, 2020

I've been following Logan and his colleagues at Free the People for awhile, so when I found out he wrote a book, I wanted to check it out. I was not disappointed.

This book is even more prescient given all of the government responses to COVID-19. We are made to feel as if it's for our own good but in reality there are a lot of terrible consequences to arbitrary business shutdowns.

We need to take a hard look at the roles and responsibilities of those purporting to serve us. If you look at the evidence here, it's pretty clear that in fact they behave like they are our masters.

Thought-provoking analysis

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2020

Fall is in the air! Soon it will be time to sit by a fire and read a good book. Albright's analysis of education, economic forces, medicine and insurance, and the role of government is fascinating! I guarantee that you will encounter at least a few ideas that will prompt you to reconsider some of your assumptions and beliefs. Be prepared!
