Sociology For The South: Or The Failure Of Free Society (1854) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781120818911)

Sociology For The South: Or The Failure Of Free Society is a book written by George Fitzhugh in 1854. The book is a critique of free society, particularly in the Southern United States, and argues that slavery is a more just and equitable system. Fitzhugh contends that free society is inherently flawed and leads to social and economic inequality, whereas a slave society ensures the well-being of all members, including slaves, who are provided with food, shelter, and medical care. The book also criticizes the capitalist system and argues that it leads to the exploitation of the working class. Fitzhugh's arguments were controversial and sparked debate in the years leading up to the Civil War. Sociology For The South is considered a significant work in the history of sociology, political theory, and the antebellum South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
