The Separation of Society and State

The Separation of Society and State

Ken’s guest is missing in action, so the guest is Ken talking about some of the key concepts in his novel, Atlas Snubbed, a parody sequel to Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. For example, the Separation of Society and State as an effective governor on the runaway welfare state, voluntary business regulations as a more effective and cheaper solution, and a novel approach to the justice system: voluntary sentencing.
