This book examines the historical trajectory and foundational principles of local self-governance against the rising trend of centralization, which the author argues results in despotism and revolution. The author traces the history of centralized governance to illuminate the ways in which local public works projects that were once locally managed have been increasingly regulated by centralized authorities. The book contextualizes the debate over local self-governance within broader social and economic transformations, including the Industrial Revolution and the growth of large cities. The author's incisive analysis demonstrates the ways in which local self-governance is essential to the development of human completeness and social well-being, and the book will be of interest to any reader seeking to understand the complexities of local government and its implications for society as a whole.
