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.

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.

This book, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced in any form without permission o the publisher. PRINTED W THK U, S. 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 TOULOUSE MONTPELLIER ILLUSTRATIONS Albi Map of France Boy on a bicycle see page 176 Bust o Rabelais, at Meudon Clock on the Gare dOrsay, Paris Singing Frog, at Blois Capital in the Musee Lapidaire at Tours Doorway of House attributed to Tristan 1 Hermite at Tours Louis XI, from a XV-Century statue in polychromed wood Circular stairway at Blois The Chateau o Chinon Cave-dwelling at Ste.-Radegonde, above Chinon Grotto of the Hermit of Ste.-Radegonde, above Chinon Philippe de Commines Capital, from the church of St. Leonard at Tile-Bouchard Stairway of la Deviniere Well at la Deviniere Mill at the Ford of Vede Farm-house at la Roche-Clermault Map of the Picrocholine War Tomb of Richard Cceur de Leon and Eleanore de Guyenne at Fon tevrault Kitchen at Fontevrault Post box, Hotel Ste.-Anne, Paris Post box, Hotel Ste, -Anne, Paris Escalier de la Grande Poterne, le Mans House of Adam and Eve, le Mans St. Benok Cour de lH6tel Fumee, Poitiers Louise Labe PAGE V viii ix 3 6 ii 15 19 25 37 40 45 57 60 65 75 PAGE Roman Arena at Poitiers, from an old print 131 Entrance of the former Doyenne of St.-Hilaire-le-Grand 134 View of St.-Maixent 139 Door of the Miraculous Oratory, Liguge 143 Melusines Grotto, Lusignan 147 From portal of church at Vouvant 150 XV-Century House, on the Place du Marche, St.-Maixent 153 Abbey Portal at Fontenay-le-Comte 157 Pantagruels Chain, Museum of la Rochelle 165 Fountain of Quatre-Tias, Fontenay-le-Comte 168 Ruins of theCathedral of Maillezais 172 From the portal of the church at Maillezais 176 From the portal of the church at Maillezais 177 The Harbour of la Rochelle 180 Le Gros Horloge in 1710, from an old print 185 Preparing for the fair at Moissac 188 Church-tower at Moissac I A Flemish Delicacy Z p5 Place Nationale at Montauban 10.7 Roman Tomb, Toulouse 100 Doorway, Hotel de Roquettes, Toulouse 202 Albi 207 School of Medicine, Montpellier 215 Aiguemortes 222 Dancer, Museum of Aries 22 y Port-Cros 2 -...
