ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides information on a legislative assembly that was constructed on unanimous direct democratic lines so that the gap between rulers and ruled is closed. The philosophical motive was the apparent neglect, or if not neglect something very close to intellectual contempt, for anarchism in the “mainstream” of modern liberal political philosophy. To rehearse the development of the argument for the possibility of anarchism very briefly: Bramhall’s attack on Hobbes’ Leviathan led to read the answer to the Foole in a new light. Admittedly anarchy is still stalked by the possibility of the peon relationship but that is managed in what follows. But that is not an argument against anarchy having argumentative standing. The book discusses the problem of wealth as it is a problem when its inequalities of distribution create conflicts of interest.
