Challenging the conventional view of state authority, the book posits that the belief in the state's moral right to command obedience is a fallacy. It asserts that the idea of the state possessing inherent authority is an illusion, suggesting that the justification for enforcing laws through threats of violence lacks a legitimate foundation. This thought-provoking exploration invites readers to reconsider the nature of state power and its relationship with individual autonomy.
