States do a lot of terrible things. Maybe we shouldn’t have them?
Reimagining the American Union by Stephen H. Legomsky invites readers to imagine an America without state government. The first book ever to argue for the abolition of state government, arguing it is a grave threat to democracy & a fiscal burden.
