It is a way of life and thought that seems natural, inevitable, and inescapable. As David Wootton reveals, it is anything but. In Power, Pleasure, and Profit, he traces an intellectual and cultural revolution that replaced the older systems of Aristotelian ethics and Christian morality with the instrumental reasoning that now gives shape and purpose to our lives.

"Hört mich! Denn ich bin der und der! Verwechselt mich vor allem nicht!"(Friedrich Nietzsche: Ecce Homo)Erst für spätere Generationen hat Nietzsche eine Offenheit, ein wirkliches Interesse und Verständnis erwartet: "Wie dürfte ich mich mit denen verwechseln, für welche heute schon Ohren wachsen", schrieb er und wir fragen: Ist es nun an der Zeit für ein solches Verstehen und bietet das Medium Hörbuch womöglich den Königsweg für das "Wachsen der Ohren", um das Denken Nietzsches mit all seinen fruchtbaren Widersprüchen für das Leben zu gewinnen?

In this unapologetically controversial book, Axelman explains the many forms of taxation, the mechanisms behind them, and what politicians spend the money on. Taxation is not moral, because it is pure theft. It is not practical, because it discourages production. And it is not even necessary.

He and his work were attacked for the rest of the century.
