The Constitution of Government in Galt's Gulch

By: Wolf DeVoon

Narrated by: R. K. Meier

A comparison of utopian fiction presented in Atlas Shrugged and the actual experience of living in a private community beyond the reach of government. It examines theory and practical real-world aspects of liberty, property, constitutional law, and national security in the context of a fully free society.

It presents a novel proposal to fund national security by private enterprise that does not rely upon (and has no legal right to impose) taxes. Extensive discussion of property as a moral office of responsibility to advance the general welfare by offering employment. The book is addressed to objectivists and libertarians, and it offers a new theory of value and virtue that considers individual character, personal ambition, and risk of change. Discussion of constitutional law includes loyalties beyond the law, fundamental rights, due process, and persistent presumption of innocence.

Worst book on Audible

The author aspires to greatness and clarity and fails at both. He offers no unifying theory other than what he borrows and misinterprets from others. The writing is tedious, self-centered, and annoying. I'm trying to exchange it but the transaction won't complete, which adds to my frustration with this garbage.

Too Many Holes in Constitution

There were just too many holes in the constitution for me. Just paying for the proposals was left out. To have real proposal you need not only the ideas but also the appropriations.
