Eugenics and Other Evils: An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State by G.K. Chesterton

5.0

Chesterton's paradoxes sometimes can be too much for my poor brain, and my pretenses of being fluent in English. So much that I have to read them twice, thrice... but as other reviewer noted, this books is an excellent rebuking of Libertarianism in the sense that it denies any conception of ruthless, laissez faire capitalism. For all her individualism, she sure became a collectivist when it was fit and she declared that only productive members of society would be considered worthy in a pure capitalist system.

He's not any kinder to socialists, anyway, but here's to a great book and its particular advantages after having read The Virtue of Selfishness, and having honestly wanted to burn it the very least.

His analysis of the language employed by Eugenicists is especialy relevant today.
