Against Institutions: A Critique of Institutions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385235643)

This treatise critiques institutionalized societies and how these systems are far more detrimental to societies than beneficial. It evaluates the government's self-prescribed role and its designated purpose. Included are discussions of monumental events, which have resulted in consequential shifts within the framework of these societies. Propaganda from revolutionary moments in history that created these social shifts are also discussed. The primary argument is against centrally planned systems of government. This argument exposes the impossibility of centrally planned ideologies regarding the long sought-after utopian society. It examines why Keynesian theory is so widely accepted, specifically by governments. A comparative approach is used to show the disconnect between relative production and aggregate demand. The theoretical structure developed by classical economists is set to the current economic calamity initiated by conditions created by the unprecedented government intervention in 2020. The philosophy of history is used to show connections between political philosophy, academia, and institutions. Emerging from these critiques is the lens through which every nation views itself--in other words, every nation's worldview or ideology is determined by the myths passed down from their ancestors.
