What does one need to know about politics? In some ways, Nock has
summed it all up in this astonishing book, the influence of which
has grown every year since its publication. Nock was a prominent
essayist at the height of the New Deal. In 1935, hardly any public
intellectuals were making much sense at all. They pushed socialism.
They pushed fascism. Everyone had a plan. Hardly anyone considered
the possibility that the state was not fixing society but
destroying it bit by bit. And so Albert Jay Nock came forward to
write what needed to be written. And he ended up penning a classic
of American political commentary, one that absolutely must be read
by every student of economics and government. One realizes many
important points about Nock when reading this. First, he was
brilliant, original, and courageous. Second, he hated politics --
indeed he hated politics so much that he wanted a society that was
completely free of it. This is why he is often described as
anarchist. Third, he surely was one of the great stylists of the
English language in the history of 20th century writing. Those who
have read Nock know that there is something about his writing that
tugs very deeply on one's conscience and soul. This book will
linger in your mind as you read the daily headlines. He makes his
points so well that they become unforgettable.

Henry Hazlitt says that this book is "One of the most powerful and
influential arguments for limited government, laissez faire and
individualism ever written." Spencer played a huge role in the
history of ideas, one that contemporary sociologists have sadly
neglected other than to dismiss him as "social Darwinist." In fact,
his great contribution was precisely to untangle the study of
society from all claims that it operated as a life form apart from
the choices made by individuals. He was a laissez-faire radical in
times when academia was becoming ever more illiberal. He was an
opponent of militarism, economic regulation, infringement on
personal liberty, and government centralization.

LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com. Here is Albert
Jay Nock's classic study on the life and thought of Thomas
Jefferson, a book which draws out points other biographers have
missed: his radicalism, his opposition to all centralized
government, his attachment to liberty and property, and his
dedication to the idea of revolution. In the process, Nock tells a
story of the founding that you have likely never heard.

This was Albert Jay Nock's first great anti-war book, a cause he
backed his entire life as an essential component of a libertarian
outlook. The book came out in 1922 and has been in very low
circulation ever since. In fact, until this printing, it has been
very difficult to obtain in physical form. The narrative has
incredible staying power. The burden of the book is to prove
American war propaganda to be false. The purpose of the war was not
to liberate Europe and the world from German imperialism and
threats. Today most everyone knows and understands this, but this
was not known in 1922. If there was a conspiracy, it was by the
allied powers to broadcast a public message that was completely
contradicted by its own diplomatic cables. Nock's book reminds us
of what most everyone has forgotten, namely, that this was sold as
a war for freedom and self-determination over imperial ambition.
Along with that came some of the most rabid war propaganda ever
fabricated until that point in time, all designed to make Germany
into a devil nation. Nock's brave book took on that idea and
demonstrated that there was fault enough to go around on all sides.
All through the 1920s, a Nockian-style retelling of the facts
behind the war led to a dramatic shift in public opinion against
World War I.

A, BY OU1NN 800EN COMPANY, INC, RAHWAY, N. J, PREFACE THIS book is
the souvenir of a good time nothing but that. It is the record of
many months spent in delightful loafing through the parts of France
that are associated with the memory of Francis Rabelais. In the
cours of a long occupation with his life and writings we had
noticed that these regions seemed to be worth visiting, and we
therefore decided to see them and this book is merely a memorandum
of our pilgrimage. Some parts of it have already appeared in the
Bookman, and they reappear here by the editors kind permission.
Francis Rabelais 1495-1553 was one of the best physicians in
Europe. He was head of the hospital of the Pont du Rhone at Lyon,
the oldest hospital in France, and perhaps the largest. He was for
twenty years the private physician and confidential friend of
Cardinal Jean du Bellay and his brother Guillaume, the viceroy of
Piedmont. He was in favour with the most eminent men of his time,
and held a court appointment from King Francis I. All the learning
of the Renaissance was fermenting in his head he anticipated Bacon
in taking all knowledge as his province. Only the colossal Erasmus
of Rotterdam could match his classical scholarship. In literature,
he was one of the four great creative geniuses of the modern world
he stands with Dante, Cervantes and Shakespeare. Finally, he did
morethan any one man to en rich the French language and establish
it in the form in which it was bequeathed to Amyot and Montaigne.
Such are the credentials of our interest in Francis Rabelais, and
the justification of our reverent love for his memory. vii NINES
