This is a very serious political treatise. It combines the wisdom of Aristotle, Hobbs, Locke, and Hume with the deep insight of Freud and Jung. When I purchased the book I thought it would be just another propaganda piece, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it a deep and serious work. Yes, it does have a few editing errors, but they are only a little tarnish on what is essentially pure gold.Why do liberals hold onto a faith in something that has been proven wrong again and again throughout the whole twentieth century? Why, because to control and be controlled is neurotic man's relationship to a universe that he is alienated from and therefore hates.
