Publisher's Synopsis
Diffusion Against Centralization is a lecture delivered by Lewis Henry Morgan before the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics' Association in 1852. In this lecture, Morgan argues against the centralization of power and decision-making in society, advocating instead for the diffusion of power among individuals and communities. He believes that centralization leads to tyranny and the suppression of individual rights, while diffusion promotes freedom and innovation. Morgan draws on examples from history and contemporary society to support his argument, and discusses the potential benefits of diffusion in areas such as education, government, and economics. This book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social debates of the mid-19th century, and remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with questions of power and authority 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.
