A Brilliant Treatise

It's all too rare that one finds a book like this. Neiman addresses nearly every aspect of government, cleverly and entertainingly explaining not why it needs to be big, but why government is an essential part of our society, despite many Americans' claims to the contrary. I've used it in many of my courses, and find my students not only interested in it, but generating new thoughts of their own. My only question is this: When will Neiman's next work appear, and where can I get it. Sincerest thanks.
