## Description

2016 Reprint of Undated Original Edition [Circa 1965]. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This gives a succinct account of Rothbard's view of the state. Following Franz Oppenheimer and Albert Jay Nock, Rothbard regards the state as a predatory entity. It does not produce anything but rather steals resources from those engaged in production. In applying this view to American history, Rothbard makes use of the work of John C. Calhoun How can an organization of this type sustain itself? It must engage in propaganda to induce popular support for its policies. Court intellectuals play a key role here, and Rothbard cites as an example of ideological mystification the work of the influential legal theorist Charles Black, Jr., on the way the Supreme Court has become a revered institution. A wealth of citations and references supports the basic premise.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Social Power vs. State Power
*by  on Reviewed in India 15 January 2021*

It very clearly and briefly reveals the workings underneath a State apparatus and asks a reader to think upon concepts of Social Power of humans over nature and State Power of Humans over other Humans. This was worth exploring deeper into Psychological realms of using Power or Force for Self Expansion and survival and it's consequences and molding of one's Psychological make up. Is there a way where even nature is not hurt by Humans ? Because even Social Power of using Nature, though natural, contains few seeds of Force. I am delving deeper into Question of when use of Force is Correct and when it is not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful political doctrine
*by  on Reviewed in India 16 May 2025*

The book shatters all illusions of democracy and tells about the reality as state is an oppression tool as it has been present and future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lucid and simple
*by  on Reviewed in India 7 October 2018*

Strengthens the premise that 'powerCorrupts', reiterates the question 'who governs the governors?', demystifies the concept of 'welfare state' but it's a fact that society needs rules for co-existence and the book established that the choice that is forced on the society is to pick ' lesser of the evil ' instead of ' best of the lot '
