Stephen Palmer, co-author of Killing Sacred Cows, has posted a description of Oliver DeMille’s new book, The Coming Aristocracy.

America was built and became great on the backs of free and independent owners. According to DeMille, if we are to become great again, two things must happen: 1) the owners must again lead, and 2) a significant number of citizens must again become owners. And the key to both of these is Leadership Education.

Together, these initiatives form the greatest freedom trend of our time: “mini-factories.”

A mini-factory is “where you do something that has been done historically by institutions, but you do it just as well (or in a way that is preferable for some reason) on a smaller scale.” Entrepreneurship, alternative education, downshifters, environmentalists, alternative health, the growth of spirituality, community architecture, the explosion of network marketing, home doctor visits, local gardening are all examples of mini-factories.

Big, institutional, non-transparent, bureaucratic organizations are supporters of aristocracy. Freedom flourishes when the people are as independent, free, and as self-sufficient as possible.

Not just leadership education, but education in general.

In my home state, 25% of adults do not have a GED or HS diploma. How are we going to do anything useful if we keep ourselves ignorant?
