Local Self-Government Unmystified: A Vindication Of Common Sense, Human Nature, And Practical Improvement, Against The Manifesto Of Centralism is a book written by Joshua Toulmin Smith in 1857. The book argues in favor of local self-government and against centralism, which was gaining popularity at the time. Smith uses common sense and practical examples to argue that local self-government is more effective and efficient than centralized control. He also argues that human nature is better suited to local self-government, as people are more invested in their local communities and have a better understanding of their needs and challenges. Smith's book is a response to the Manifesto of Centralism, which advocated for centralized control and the consolidation of power in the hands of a few. Smith refutes this approach, arguing that it is undemocratic and ultimately harmful to the people. Overall, Local Self-Government Unmystified is a passionate defense of local self-government and a call to arms for those who believe in the power of communities to govern themselves.Put Forth At The Social Science Association, 1857.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
