About this title

Synopsis

Diffusion Against Centralization is a historical lecture delivered by Lewis Henry Morgan in 1852 before the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics������� Association. The book discusses the tension between the centralization of power and the diffusion of power in society. Morgan argues that centralization leads to the concentration of power in the hands of a few, while diffusion allows for a more democratic distribution of power. He uses examples from history to illustrate his point, including the Roman Empire and the feudal system of medieval Europe. The book also touches on the role of technology and how it can either promote centralization or diffusion. Overall, Diffusion Against Centralization is a thought-provoking exploration of the balance between centralized and decentralized power structures in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
