Plato's Nursery

Two blueprints for human society, and the laboratory record of the second

Since Eden there have been two blueprints for human society: God's, which builds from the household upward through nested, delegated authorities, and the Planner's, which dissolves the middle layers so the center can grip each individual directly; every laboratory test of the second blueprint returns the same result, and the silent ward in Bucharest is its lab report.

A book on subsidiarity and the artificial home: the household as the oldest blueprint, the Planner’s nursery as its rival, and the laboratory record, from Plato’s Republic to Bucharest, of what happens each time the second blueprint is tried. Serialized here, a chapter at a time.
