This man asserted that all life gradually moves towards self-sufficiency in a book that integrated the scientific method with the search for natural law. In another book, this man argued that "over-legislation" and the army of bureaucracy led to a "New Toryism" akin to socialism. This author of System of Synthetic Philosophy introduced the "first principle" of equal freedom in a work that defended the "right to (*) ignore the state's" assaults on the social organism. In that book, he claimed that men will evolve away from government to a "social equilibrium" in a process often called "Social Darwinism". For ten points, name this Victorian author of Social Statics, who popularized the term "survival of the fittest".
