Description
Democracy - The God That Failed is a systematic exploration of the transformation of Western societies from monarchy to democracy. The author presents a revisionist view, arguing that monarchy is often a lesser evil than democracy and outlining deficiencies in both systems.
The book applies an axiomatic-deductive methodology to derive economic and sociological theorems, which are then applied to interpret historical events. A key chapter examines time preference and its role in shaping civilization, drawing parallels with the Ricardian Law of Association.
By focusing on this transformation, the author seeks to understand various historical phenomena, including rising crime rates, moral decay, and the growth of the mega-state. The book ultimately argues that a natural order based on private property is superior to both monarchy and democracy, and calls for an alignment between conservatism and libertarianism.
