Omnipotent Government: The Rise of the Total State and Total War. A
brilliant account of the statist intellectual influences that led to the rise of Nazism

perfect, unhampered capitalism are there no incentives for aggression and conquest.

Bureaucracy. This remarkable little book contrasts profit
management with bureaucratic management. Its thesis is that the former, representing
highly motivated, flexible, decentralized decision making prevails in private business
that is not subject to extensive government interference. The latter prevails in
government operations and is appropriate to the proper, delimited functions of government, which should be
constrained by red tape. 128 + x pp. (P)

The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality. From the
social novels and
plays to many detective stories, from most intellectuals and many wage earners to a large
proportion of wealthy heirs, there is resentment against capitalism. This book is an
analysis both of the extent of the hostility to capitalism and its psychological causes.
