- Summary:
- Are we on the way to having a global government, and if so, should we embrace it? The work explores the feasibility of establishing a world government. It begins with an analysis of a short book written in 1967 that came to the conclusion that a world government was not feasible, and refutes that view using the Constitutional debates that fired up this country's best minds in 1789.
