Description

Chesterton exercises his full polemical gifts in 'Eugenics and Other Evils' , targeting the once-popular view that the State should regulate how (and with whom) its citizens ought to breed. Chesterton talks a lot of pungent good sense about how morally and practically dangerous such regulatory schemes must be, and why they inevitably lead to coercive and intrusive legislation.
