Synopsis

Albert Jay Nock, perhaps the most brilliant American essayist of the 20th century — and certainly among its most important libertarian thinkers — set out to write his autobiography but ended up doing much more. In Memoirs of a Superfluous Man he presents a full theory of society, state, economy, and culture, and does so almost inadvertently. His stories, lessons, observations, and conclusions pack a very powerful punch, so much so that anyone who takes time to read carefully cannot but end up changed in his or her intellectual outlook. One feels that one has been admitted to a private club of people who see more deeply than others. This is truly an American classic.
