Description
The author is the Bishop of Limerick. Threat of totalitarianism from the increased role of the state. Uses, as an example, the involvement of the Irish government in health care from the 1940s on and the welfare state as interpreted by its opponents. Briefly comments on Orwell, Thomas More, Campanella, Andreae, Bacon, Hartlib, and other utopians and political theorists.
