The Servile State

Excellent Work

If Servile State were more widely read, there would be far far fewer "socialists" in the world. This book criticizes capitalism from the standpoint of tradition, not pie-in-the-sky theories as spurious as classical economics itself.

Eye opening

To say this book is an eye opener is an understatement. I'm sure all of us have an intimation as to the inadequacy of the current economic system. We instinctively recoil at the "conservative" who seems to be little less than capital's bulldog, yet his liberal alternative we find equally repulsive. In a little over one hundred pages, Belloc explains how these apparent foes are actually working together in creating the servile state; how the drive to provide unemployment insurance, minimum wages, and the like are really leading us to a state of servitude enforced by positive law. Though this book was written over one hundred years ago, it remains relevant today. I'm sure anyone who's lived long enough can see more ways in which the law restricts our economic freedom - for our own good of course - and how we, the proles, see it as a blessing.
