Spencer argues that government intervention in these areas is harmful to individual freedom and prosperity, and that the best way to achieve social progress is through voluntary cooperation and free markets.Overall, Social Statics, Abridged And Revised: Together With The Man Versus The State is a classic work of political philosophy that continues to influence debates about the role of government in society.
