The Man Versus the State, by English libertarian, and sociologist, Herbert Spencer, was originally published in 1884. Originally the work consisted of four chapters. The New Toryism, The Coming Slavery, The Sins of Legislators and The Great Political Superstition. To which, more recently the essays Freedom from Bondage, and Over-Legislation, as well as a postcript and an Introduction by Albert Jay Nock have been added. In the book Spencer sees a statist corruption coming from within the liberal ideological framework, warning of a coming slavery. He argues for liberalism, however, stating that the new love liberalism has for the State would place liberalism within the realm of a new despotism, worse than the previous one. Henry Hazlitt commented that this was "One of the most powerful and influential arguments for limited government, laissez faire and individualism ever written."

“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University
