What is A View from Above about?
159 pages ; 22 cm, \"A View from Above provocatively argues that competition for power leads totalitarian man inexorably toward a libertarian order. The relationships examined between human nature, power and ideology are a synthesis of Hobbes, Mandeville, and Nietzsche, but the conclusions drawn depart from them and are startlingly original. The feature of man that premises A View from Above is egocentrism.
