About this listen

In this tour de force essay, Hans-Hermann Hoppe turns the standard account of historical governmental progress on its head. While the state is an evil in all its forms, monarchy is, in many ways, far less pernicious than democracy. Hoppe shows the evolution of government away from aristocracy, through monarchy, and toward the corruption and irresponsibility of democracy to have been identical with the growth of the leviathan state. There is hope for liberty, as Hoppe explains, but it lies not in reversing these steps, but rather through secession and decentralization. This pocket-sized, eye-opening pamphlet is ideal for tabling, conferences, or sharing with friends. It can revolutionize the way a listener sees society and the state.

Written in the recent past but describing accurately the current attempt by the plutocrats to use the demagogic world leaders via the WEF, WHO and UN to establish the One World Government or NWO. The petrodollar's influence is waning as the tyranny of the would be monopolists in the West fails in the face of the refusal of BRICS to engage with the plan. The movement to decentralisation has begun in the midst of the construction of the current tower of Babel.
