Challenging conventional views on social responsibility, this classic work critiques the notion of group obligation, asserting that individuals owe nothing to one another. The author advocates for a harsh interpretation of social Darwinism, arguing that the wealthy and educated have no duty to assist the poor. He vehemently opposes taxation and universal suffrage, labeling them as immoral, while rejecting the concept of natural rights. The text ultimately promotes a philosophy of self-reliance, encapsulating a stark view of societal dynamics.
