The Blue Book of Freedom (Paperback)

Paperback. In The Blue Book of Freedom," R. J. Rummel asserts that democracy is the solution to the scourges that face the world. A student of war and peace for more than forty years, he has learned that democratic freedom provides a solution to the evils that have plagued mankind. "The Blue Book of Freedom" presents the results of his work in everyday language. The main points are: * Freedom is the way to economic and human security. * Free people never have famine. * Where people are free, political violence is minimal. * The more freedom a people enjoy, the less likely their government will murder them. * The less free the people in any two nations are, the bloodier and more destructive any war between them will be. * To do away with famine, mass impoverishment, democide (the murder by a government of its own people), and war, promote freedom. * Democratic freedom is a method of nonviolence and an antidote to war." In the twentieth century alone, more than 270 million people have been murdered by tyrants clinging to power and turning their back on the prosperity and freedom democracy can bring. This book argues that only through true democracy can we find a solution to the evils that have plagued mankind for centuries.
