Cutting away the jargon which bedevils those who try to communicate their ideas on social organization, economic policy and ethical justice, the author of this book challenges the assumptions behind many of the applications of economics, sociology, ethics and naked philosophy in modern life. His approach promotes a more rigorous rationality in our understanding of human affairs, demolishing myths and fallacies in an attempt to make genuine progress. Antony Flew is the author of "Thinking About Social Thinking".
