Il problema dell'autorità politica. Un esame del diritto di obbligare e del dovere di obbedire

Simply put; this is the best book I've ever read. This book will not convince the ideological dogmatism that has sunken in the mind of young liberals.

The strongest section in here is on the psychological aspect of obedience and why people follow commands from authority but this isn't a pure political issue since no one thinks you can abolish authority but the issue is the determination of what's legitimate authority.
