Book Overview
""Local Self-Government Unmystified"" is a book written by Joshua Toulmin Smith in 1857. The book is a defense of local self-government against the centralist manifesto that was prevalent in the mid-19th century. Smith argues that local self-government is the most practical and effective way to govern a society, as it allows for a more direct and responsive relationship between the people and their government. He also argues that this system is grounded in common sense and human nature, and that attempts to centralize power will inevitably lead to corruption and inefficiency. The book is a passionate defense of the principles of democracy and freedom, and a call to action for those who believe in the power of local self-government to make a difference in their communities.Put Forth At The Social Science Association, 1857.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
