Three and half stars. This was good, but after the brilliance of "Boundaries of Order" I was disappointed. This is a vast collection of articles and essays, while there are moments of brilliance, it is largely repetitive. I know that we are told that we must hear things three times to remember, but after nine times or 18 times... it does get monotonous.
I felt that Chapter 37 "Bring Back Discrimination" was worth the price of the ebook. So in that light, everything else was a bonus. I am not turned off Shaffer by any means, but I am very glad that I read "Boundaries of Order" before I tackled this.
Butler Shaffer is a master at putting into word's what being an individual human being really means. As an anarchist/libertarian it opened more doors to my inner self.
Considering I'm only on Chapter 4, it may be a little premature to call this an overall Excellent work, but I'm confident that the rest of the book will not disappoint. The author uses reasonable and logical explanations for his arguments about the fallacy of central planning by government, politicians, and media. These 3 entities try so hard to fit the cause and solution of the nation's most complex problems into a simple mold. This book and reason show that chaotic systems such as human behavior and the economy cannot and should not be controlled. Trying to control them only results in more rules and laws, bad characterizations, and ultimately less freedom. Instead, let God-given liberty steer us on the right and proper course. Definitely recommend this book!
I love political philosophy. So when I got this, I made sure it was THE chosen book to bring on a 3-day business trip out of town. Luckily I brought some other back-up books, because it seemed somewhat dry, and was laborious to progress. It's various essays that the author wrote, and compiled in a book. The essays do relate to each other though...no like some books that are disjointed due to the wide-ranging subjects. Still, I had to put this aside and hope to get back to it ....someday.
