Localism: A Philosophy of Government
ISBN-13: 9781634436267 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str.
In a work that will remind some of a modern incarnation of The Anti-Federalist Papers, author Mark Moore, originally under the pen name Achbani but now for the first time in his own name, makes a compelling case that the Founders of the United States intended a much more decentralized government than we now have, and that decentralization of power is essential to maintaining liberty. Localism maintains there are thirteen doorways through which state power is consolidated and liberty lost. The philosophy suggests that each of the thirteen must be kept shut in order for liberty to be sustained. Much of the book contains specific necessary measures in order to keep political power diffused and therefore in reach of the citizens. One of the more intriguing aspects of the philosophy is its potential to unite limited-government conservatives and libertarians together against centralizers of all stripes. A blueprint forward.
