description: A spirited polemic which offers a wise and witty rebuke to government meddling on the ground that it is "the will of the people." Leon demonstrates that in no government since at least 1928 has the winner gathered the votes of a majority of the eligible population. No President since 1928 has had a popular mandate. He also denies that, with or without a mandate, government intervention is essential to keep society functioning and prevent chaos. Leon makes a case for promoting liberty nonpolitically and staying as far as possible away from the corrosive political process.
