Comegna Donisthorpe Individualism

Donisthorpe begins this important contribution to trans-Atlantic libertarianism by investigating the claim that the state is an organism.

Surveying the history of states from the fall of Rome to modern Britain, Donisthorpe introduces his plea for "Integration with Decentralization."

Setting the tone for the rest of his book, our author argues that complex societies require innumerable interlocking and overlapping local institutions.

Donisthorpe stakes his claim for democracy, both the general trend of history and the first step to a more individualistic world.

In pursuit of understanding what the state may legitimately do, Donisthorpe explains what modern states actually do.
