The Man Versus The State, first published in 1884.That book launched one of the most spirited attacks on statism ever written. Heridiculed the idea that government intervention of any kind "will work as it is intendedto work, which it never does."

Below is one of his essays that explores the principles of self-government, which Henry David Thoreau defended in his seminal essay, CivilDisobedience
