A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War

Most Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown to mythic proportions as hundreds of books, a national holiday, and a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom. But what if most everything you knew about Lincoln were false? What if, instead of an American hero who sought to free the slaves, Lincoln were in fact a calculating politician who waged the bloodiest war in american history in order to build an empire that rivaled Great Britain's? In The Real Lincoln, author Thomas J. DiLorenzo uncovers a side of Lincoln not told in many history books and overshadowed by the immense Lincoln legend.

Through extensive research and meticulous documentation, DiLorenzo portrays the sixteenth president as a man who devoted his political career to revolutionizing the American form of government from one that was very limited in scope and highly decentralized—as the Founding Fathers intended—to a highly centralized, activist state. Standing in his way, however, was the South, with its independent states, its resistance to the national government, and its reliance on unfettered free trade. To accomplish his goals, Lincoln subverted the Constitution, trampled states' rights, and launched a devastating Civil War, whose wounds haunt us still. According to this provacative book, 600,000 American soldiers did not die for the honorable cause of ending slavery but for the dubious agenda of sacrificing the independence of the states to the supremacy of the federal government, which has been tightening its vise grip on our republic to this very day.

You will discover a side of Lincoln that you were probably never taught in school—a side that calls into question the very myths that surround him and helps explain the true origins of a bloody, and perhaps, unnecessary war.

"A devastating critique of America's most famous president."

— Joseph Sobran, commentator and nationally syndicated columnist

"Today's federal government is considerably at odds with that envisioned by the framers of the Constitution. Thomas J. DiLorenzo gives an account of How this come about in The Real Lincoln."

— Walter E. Williams, from the foreword

"A peacefully negotiated secession was the best way to handle all the problems facing Americans in 1860. A war of coercion was Lincoln's creation. It sometimes takes a century or more to bring an important historical event into perspective. This study does just that and leaves the reader asking, 'Why didn't we know this before?'"

— Donald Livingston, professor of philosophy, Emory University

"Professor DiLorenzo has penetrated to the very heart and core of American history with a laser beam of fact and analysis."

— Clyde Wilson, professor of history, University of South Carolina, and editor, The John C. Calhoun Papers

• 从这本书开始，半被动半强迫的把译著翻译成英文再读。该书晦涩难懂可是连作者都承认的。。。

    coase曾经说过instutional school除了一堆描述性材料，一无所有，此言甚当。

     ‘经济学家以商品或人对商品的感觉为出发点，而法院却是以交易为出发点’我以为这句话勉强可以算作该书的出发点。无论是价值论还是效用论都是mechanism 。

       这本书从法院近几十年来对财产范围的改变出发详细描述了capitalism各方面的法律转变，比如freedom ，status libertatis 的区别。价值是属于未来的，预期==

   business rules ，the running mechanism ，expect可谓反复出现

  smith看不见的手是customary law

  唉，这种描述性材料。。。

  不会再看第三遍了

  【书中介绍支票，商业票据等等倒是第一次看到，也算有用吧】

• 熊孩子的“妄想”集结成册

  作者：狂欢的马戏团 发布时间：2019-08-05 14:45:37

  在网络上查到这本单行本的出版日期是1975年，哆啦A梦的最早的剧场长篇是1980年的《大雄的恐龙》，如此看来这本故事里的《我是桃太郎的什么呢？》已经开始有向长篇创作的尝试了。段落式的叙述很有特点，不同的主人公为出发，最后汇总到一个终点，即使故事不长，读起来也十分新鲜。

  整体看下来，这一册里的故事大多是熊孩子在生活中的“妄想”，“妄想”得以实现，这样的初衷去构思的故事吧。其中《令人感动的话筒》《墙纸中的新年晚会》《收藏瓶盖》《出游音叉》《遗忘草》这一册的故事基本都是从熊孩子的“妄想”为起点构思出的故事。

  我想每个孩子都幻想过这些问题吧，有一座无人岛，有可以随时找到其他小朋友的工具（当然，现在不需要了……现在想不被找到都难……）想要偷懒幻想食杂店啊，学校啊都在自己家旁边（可能就是这帮人，长大之后琢磨出来一个词儿，叫“三分钟生活圈”然后去干房地产了……）

  有趣的想法源于对生活的观察。
