Synopsis

In this readable and provocative book, the author reviews the ethical principles upon which the individual today founds his claims on the resources of his society. Smith emphasizes the need to preserve and develop the significance of the individual in our society by making him the focal point in a system of legal relationships; individual rights should be firmly embedded in organic law and social philosophy.

Originally published in 1955.
