Story
Based on the groundbreaking research of respected historian Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope 101 reveals an unimaginably devious political system, skillfully manipulated by a handful of elite, which is undermining freedom and democracy as we know it. The goal of those who control the system, in Quigley's own words, is to dominate "all habitable portions of the world." Using deception, theft, and violence, they have achieved more toward this goal than any rulers in human history. However, the Information Age is quickly derailing their plans. The immorality of their system has become nearly impossible to hide.

Story
The American Empire is finished and will soon become another cautionary tale, tossed upon the trash heap of history, and destroyed by the very same societal issues that plagued the many former empires that share similar fates. It did not have to end this way, but when the most devious and ruthless members of a society are tasked with running the system, the outcome can hardly be in dispute.

In Parasites on Parade, Larken Rose (author of The Most Dangerous Superstition and The Iron Web) uses his own direct experiences with bureaucratic and judicial stupidity, intrusion, and corruption to illustrate why, everywhere and at all times, in every situation and at every level, government sucks! This snarky, flippant look at the mentality and tactics of various state busybodies also provides an important lesson regarding the true nature of political “authority,” and the problems and abuses it naturally creates.

Anarcho-capitalism is the most exciting social philosophy of modern times. But how does it work? This book illuminates the ethical system at the heart of anarcho-capitalism. It builds the nonaggression principle from praxeological foundations and develops techniques for applying it to real world conflicts. It explores the edges of libertarianism to show where it shines and where it fails.

You will learn pertinent facts about an ever-growing and oppressive medical system that has been rooting itself into the lives of each American for over 75 years. Unlike other books of its kind, Good-Bye Germ Theory attacks the actual core of medical belief which is portrayed as science, but turns out to be more like dogmatic religion.

If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest.

Publisher's Summary
The vast majority of theft, extortion, intimidation, harassment, assault, and even murder - in other words, the vast majority of man's inhumanity to man - comes not from the greed, hatred and intolerance that lurks in our hearts. Rather, it comes from one pernicious and almost universal assumption, one unquestioned belief, one irrational, self-contradictory superstition: the belief in "authority".

A great dream
Larkin has several provocative points he makes. obviously a liberty seeking human which most of us are. I'm against authoritarian rule like communism (China,USSR) being a objective, self reliant less government person this book was good to read. But in the end like socialism the excuse of it's never been tried properly falls because it always will morph into something evil. I'm in the Churchill way of thought of all the types of goverment/non-goverment <(added) Democracy(republic) is the least worse.
Also EVERYTHING he holds and believes when he used an authority to COPYRIGHT his novel.

5 stars. Essential de-indoctrination.
The perfect length of manifesto to set the ball rolling for those with complete or residual belief in authority.
For those already de-indoctrinated, this is a cathartic listen/read to provide a healthy dose of reason; which is lost in a world of obsequious sheep and deluded tyrants.

brilliant!
I guess I was already in the right mindset to hear this, but maybe I just wished I'd heard it earlier.
It's certainly a book that I want absolutely everyone to read/ listen to and digest. I think it could change the world but the majority are simply too invested in the superstition.
Either way it's a great book that I immediately shared with all my like-minded friends.
He knows all the excuses that will, and I'm sure have, be hurled in defence and answers then with such clarity that it's amazing to think that the world is so indoctrinated, but yet here we are.
I certainly have a new mindset, clarity and calm about my position in the world and don't hesitate to recommend this book.
