FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

Edited by Donald Livingston

In this collection of seven essays, Donald Livingston presents the arguments of scholars who suggest that the country is simply too big for one central government. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds, these experts explore such complex issues as government by judiciary and a reconsideration of nationalistic government. They address the sources of nationalism and the influence of early political leaders, while discussing the continuing struggle between federal and local governments. The debate culminates in an analysis paralleling the disintegration of the Soviet Union with the current situation in the United States and urges readers to preserve the sovereignty of individual state governments.

The collection is an outgrowth of the Abbeville Conference, held in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2010 and features arguments by Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo, Yuri Maltsev, Donald W. Livingston, Kent Masterson Brown, Marshall DeRosa, Kirkpatrick Sale, and Rob Williams. The essays present challenging ideas on issues that have remained current since the birth of the American nation.

About the Editor

Donald Livingston is a professor emeritus of philosophy at Emory University. He has published two books on the British philosopher David Hume and has been described as “the greatest Hume scholar of the twentieth century.” He worked with other academics to form the Abbeville Institute, an organization in higher education dedicated to scholarly study of Southern tradition.

Thomas J. Lorenzo - 03/29/2012
