Discourse on Voluntary Servitude: Why People Enslave Themselves to Authority

While short in words, Discourse on Voluntary Servitude speaks volumes to all those who value liberty on all levels, but who are currently trapped in the yoke of oppression by the many tyrants in every government and institution. This book may be considered the flip-side to Machiavelli's The Prince, which teaches would-be dictators how to acquire and maintain power over people and institutions.
