Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and its Influence on Morals and Happiness. Volume 2
'Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and its Influence on Morals and Happiness. Volume 2' Summary
It was Godwin, in his Enquiry concerning Political Justice, who was the first to formulate the political and economical conceptions of anarchism, even though he did not give that name to the ideas developed in his remarkable work. Laws, he wrote, are not a product of the wisdom of our ancestors: they are the product of their passions, their timidity, their jealousies and their ambition. The remedy they offer is worse than the evils they pretend to cure.
