Slightly More Challenging than the First

As I said in "Imperial Stars, the Stars at War", this series is an investigation of the probably future governments that we will take with us into Space. In this volume, which is also a collection of short Sci-Fi stories and essays, he not only continues his attack on the Social Sciences, he attempts to reason which would be the government, one of freedom or one of tyrrany.So which will it be? He highlights the strengths and weaknesses of both, and his conclusion is that initially it will be empire, and eventually it will be republic.I regret to say that there are no startling new breakthroughs in this book like the Pournelle Chart in the first volume, but the difference in perspective is worth it. The highlight of this one is the discussion of Tribesman, Barbarian, and Civilization as three evolved stages of government. To understand it, you must read it.I thank Jerry Pournelle for this wonderful series.
