Inspired by Galileo's famous Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, this entertaining but profound combination of philosophy and fiction debates two chief world systems of a different kind: the two chief systems in politics rather than science. They are the paternalistic state, whose role is to rule over citizens for their own good, versus the free state, whose role is only to protect individual rights to leave people free to run their own lives, for good or ill. This though-provoking essay will entertain - and make you think.
