Summary: Myth of the Individual!
Comment: Ah yes - Americans love to claim they are 'individuals.' And this cloying dated books attempts to define what that is with little insight. At the time I am sure readers assumed this to be true, yet even nowadays any reader can refute this arguement in a simple manner by stating where would we be without the collective actions of our US Army in defeating Nazism?

Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent, concise defense against socialism
Comment: I have found no other work that so clearly destroys the foundations of socialism in so few pages as this work. The rhetoric is fertile ground for effective debate, as it rarely uses gobblygook economic theory... which fortunately was not around at the time this work was written. No Supply/demand curves here.

Summary: Sumner promoting the virtue of limited government.
Comment: First published in 1883, Sumner's "What Social Classes Owe to Each Other" is an excellent source for the promotion of limited government. Sumner talks about the "Forgotten Man" in context to the socio-political and economic of a state. He defines the differences between the "weak", "poor" and the "burden" and how the humanitarians, reformers and the philathropists of our society seek forced charities from the "Forgotten Man" to support the above. In this book he promotes the principles of democracy and voluntary charity. He gives solid reason and logical explainations about his philosophy. I higly recommend this 145 page read to the students of Political Theory and Philosophy.
