For readers who are disenchanted with the claims of promising politicians to be able to solve almost every human problem by collective and coercive means, these selected writings of Frank Chodorov bring a fresh breeze of idealistic individualism. Not only government, but virtually every human institution comes under the penetrating scrutiny of his searching mind and sardonic style. He exposes the Achilles heel in every "philosophic fashion" of Politics, Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Education, Human Rights, Taxation, Trade, Isolationism and Internationalism. Yet, cynical and iconoclastic as these essays are, they are salted with sly humor, charity and hope.
