Below are some links pertaining to writings by an author named Albert Jay Nock. He is unbelievably timely and very ironic considering the book was originally written in 1935. He was very critical of
Franklin Roosevelt's
New Deal programs. For a bio, you can view him on Wikipedia: (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Jay_Nock) If you would like to listen and understand in greater detail about his opinion on the struggles between "state" power (government) and "societal" power (us), here is the first in a six part series called “
Our Enemy, The State”, by Albert Jay Nock. It is narrated by a Brit’ named Jock Coats. Nock argued that the New Deal was merely a pretext for the federal government to increase its control over society. I wonder what he would say about obama. All six audios are 35+ minutes long. This is just a narration; so you do not have to be looking at anything, just listen. However, if you prefer reading, access the link below the first one and a text version of the entire book is available.
