What chiefly interests me in this book are the real events themselves not the the laws. The value of a teacher book lies in its power of training individual statesmen and stateswomen to conduct the affairs of their own community with skill and success. The book leads people to an inner success, a victory not over circumstance but over self. The book is worth reading not because it is scientifically true or demonstrative, but because it is a school and a training-ground for innovative and sustainable economic, environmental and social life.
