The Nature of the Political Left & Right - by Christopher Angle (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This book (in the manner of the Socratic dialogue) explains what is the nature of politics, and what is the anthropological evolution of the political party by defining the essence of the political left and right and their respective raisons d'etre, what motivates them, and the nature of their ethics. The explanation is contained in seven Dictums. Further, the book demonstrates how the Dictums are relative and explanatory to the rise and fall of empires and the causes of war.

Although the book is philosophical in nature, it is exciting to read, especially for a conservative, as the book explains the nature of the incomprehensible habits and actions of the left and whence they come. Further, this work comes up with some remarkable revelations such as the conclusion that ethical behavior, peace, and the free market are the same thing!

This work is done in a non-academic explanatory style that lends self to easy and enjoyable reading. Although philosophic and academic in content, this work is fun to read as it elucidates the nature of the political left and right.
