About this book
The True State Lectures On The Demolition Reconstruction Of Society - Othmar Span
Author: Othmar Spann
Year: 1921
In The True State, Spann lays out his grand vision both in economic and sociological terms, seamlessly blending German Idealism with Catholic social values, a critique of Marxist theory and individualist philosophy. His brilliance as an orator and his reimagining of an estates-based culture, inegalitarian but socially conscious, gained him an army of acolytes but also powerful adversaries in the turbulent period between the wars. As one of the last century’s most devastating critics of the contemporary economic and social order, Spann has largely been buried by the academic establishment of today, but his timeless ideas will still hold an appeal for those dissatisfied with modern society.
