The Crucible of Consent: American Child Rearing and the Forging of Liberal Society
James E. Block
Why do free people submit to any rule? How is consent of the governed formed? Block argues that the source is found in the nursery and schoolroom, where the necessary synthesis of self-direction and integrative social conduct—so contradictory in logic yet so functional in practice—are established without provoking reservation or resistance.
