The widely held idea that dicta and force can serve a useful purpose will eventually fade into backward thinking in the so-called public sector as it has in the private sector. Time, nature, reason, and the human spirit will see to that. Irrespective of good intentions or the approval by consensus, nature's unrelenting feedback will gradually drive ruling political authorities to extinction.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px;"> Narrated by Daniel Bennett.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px;"> <br /></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px;"> <a href="http://mp3.anarchistphilosophies.com/libertydictaforce.mp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: #38709e; background-image: none; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; border-color: rgb(56, 112, 158); border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-top-right-radius: 5px; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.25; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 6px 10px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: middle; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank" title="01-Introduction.mp3" type="audio/mpeg; length=23125769">Download audio file</a></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 12.5px;"> <a class="" href="https://mises.org/library/liberty-dicta-force-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #51585c; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;">READ MORE</a></div> </div>
