{{DES | des = A book flawed by a libertarian viewpoint of the state as enemy.  The principles within apply equally well to any large bureaucracy, especially large corporations.  Misdirects from the fact that governments DO improve the human condition.  Also flawed in not presenting origins of the ideas in the works of others.   | show=}}
