In "Democracy: The God That Failed," the author rigorously examines the West's shift from limited monarchy to mass democracy, arguing that monarchy, despite its flaws, may serve as a lesser evil. The book critiques both systems in their capacity to protect liberty while exploring the historical implications of this transformation, including rising crime rates and a decline in moral standards. Additionally, the author challenges classical liberal views on limited government, advocating for a coalition between anti-statist conservatism and libertarianism, and envisions a future characterized by secession into multiple region and city-states. This thought-provoking work appeals to scholars and students of history, political economy, and philosophy.
