Localism

Focusing on the concept of decentralization, the author argues that the Founding Fathers envisioned a government with significantly less central authority, essential for preserving liberty. The book identifies thirteen avenues through which state power can encroach on freedom, advocating for measures to keep these pathways closed. It proposes a philosophy that could bridge the divide between limited-government conservatives and libertarians, presenting a cohesive strategy to combat centralization and promote citizen engagement in governance.
