His arguments are considerably buttressed by historical and scientific discussions.

There is much here questioning the "givens" under which our societies function. It questions the function of the rule of law and law itself, the real purpose of "rights" the way in which we define money, and how our present concept of money constricts us. It asks "Why does a government that issues fiat money need to be funded?" I thought the discussion of this question was particularly fascinating. This is equal-opportunity iconoclasm celebrating true liberty and true justice. Prepare to be challenged. I have read this book.
