Against Politics by Anthony De Jasay

Against Politics by Anthony De Jasay

Government depends on collective decision making. Even in peaceful democracies, some decide for all. The author challenges the morality of this position. It is not different political systems that are at fault as the nature of politics itself

'De Jasay - economist, one-time businessman, and political philosopher - has argued in a series of powerful books (notably The State and the just-published Against Politics that democracies are vulnerable to majoritarian tyranny in which the majority redistributes to itself through the state the possessions of the rest' - Patrick Mitford, Daily Telegraph

Anthony de Jasay is also the author of Choice, Contract, Consent (1991), Social Contract, Free Ride (1989), and The State (1985).
