The Breakdown of Nations - by Leopold Kohr

Leopold Kohr's The Breakdown of Nations critiques the centralization of political power and the idea of large nation-states. Kohr argues that smaller, decentralized political entities are more effective in fostering freedom, prosperity, and social harmony. He contends that the growth of large nation-states often leads to inefficiency, bureaucracy, and conflict. Through his analysis, Kohr calls for a rethinking of political structures, advocating for smaller, more localized governance that would promote human well-being.
