Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of 18th-century colonial governance and offers a blueprint for establishing a successful settlement in Africa. The author draws inspiration from the English system of ââ Å"frankpledge,ââ  a medieval form of community-based law enforcement and mutual responsibility, to propose a radical new model for governing a colony. The text explores themes of social order, political organization, economic development, and even spiritual life, with the author proposing a unique blend of free labor, regulated trade, and a system of public revenue based on days of work. His vision for the colony hinges on a strong sense of community, where each member contributes to the collective good, with the wealthy contributing more through a tax on pride and indolence. The authorââ â¢s insightful and forward-thinking approach to colonial governance, grounded in both historical precedent and practical considerations, makes this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, social contract theory, and the evolving ideas of justice and equality in the 18th century.
