Hologram of Liberty: The Constitution's Shocking Alliance With Big Government
NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE!
ASIN B00NRJEAN4
We had two sets of Founding Fathers: the 1770s set who kicked off the Revolutionary War, and the 1780s set who agitated for a constitutional convention in 1787. Except for a few persons, they were different men -- and with different agenda.
Jefferson did not write the Constitution, but most Americans seem to believe that it was a Jeffersonian product as his Declaration of Independence.
If you've ever wondered how we came to have a leviathan federal government that was supposed to remain small and defined -- Hologram of Liberty will explain what happened.
The 1997 edition is sold out and out of print, and was replaced by this 2012 second edition which has 100 new pages, and thoroughly covers the 10th Amendment, Firearms Freedom Acts, Obamacare, and comparisons between other constitutions.
It brings his 1997 classic fully up to date, and now you can also enjoy it on Kindle!
For all those who have the out-of-print 1997 edition of Hologram of Liberty, here is a synopsis of what's new in this 2012 edition:
Introduction updated, with a farewell to political book writing
Chapters 1-4 no-very few changes
Chapter 5 commerce clause discussion removed for Chapter 11
Chapter 6 separate U.S. constitution theory removed (too arcane and speculative)

Chapter 8 no changes
Chapter 9 several changes/updates as needed
Chapter 10 much added: 16th Amendment and income taxation, freedom money, reining in the public corporations

Chapter 12 much detail on the looming Constitutional Convention, history and future
Chapter 13 quotes from many constitutions from Swiss to CSA to Newstates
Chapter 14 which authors have embraced/rejected my coup d'etat theory since 1997?
