From Aristocracy to Monarchy to Democracy | by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Hans-Hermann Hoppe shows the evolution of government away from aristocracy, through monarchy, and toward the corruption and irresponsibility of democracy—a long march toward today's leviathan state. There is hope for liberty, but reversing the tide will not be easy. Radical decentralization and secession, Hoppe posits, are the last best way forward. This eye-opening monograph will revolutionize the way you view society and the state. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

"It is not my purpose here to engage in standard history, i.e., history as it is written by historians, but to offer a logical or sociological reconstruction of history, informed by actual historical events, but motivated more fundamentally by theoretical — philosophical and economic — concerns." – Hans-Hermann Hoppe
