Infos

Spencer develops various specific disastrous ramifications of the wholesale substitution of the principle of compulsory cooperation-the statist principle-for the individualist principle of voluntary cooperation. His theme is that "e;there is in society . . . that beautiful self-adjusting principle which will keep all its elements in equilibrium. . . . The attempt to regulate all the actions of a community by legislation will entail little else but misery and compulsion."e;Herbert Spencer joined the staff of the London and Birmingham Railway as an engineer in 1837 and in 1848 took a position as editor of The Economist.Please note: This title is available as an ebook for purchase on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iTunes.
