Laconic Essay on Forms of Government., undated
Scope and Contents
Two typewritten drafts of "Laconic Essay on the Forms of Government," that inform his publuished book Essay on Forms of Government: from Theocracy to Foolocracy (1942) one with corrections written in ink. One a letter- sized typescript (17 pp.) the other a legal-sized carbon copy (13 pp., unpaginated). Nearly identical--the very last section of the two on Foolocracies (p. 17 and 13, resepctively) are thematically equivalent, but worded slightly differently.
The letter-sized draft contains the near-exact wording of the published text. The published text also contains additional sections on "Fascism, Nazism and the New Deal" (pp. 15 - 16) not contained in the typescripts.
The latter conform to the published text's pp. 7 - 22 (of 35 pages), the majority of the book listed as "Article I" (of three total).
