Small Isn't Beautiful: The Case against Localism

"Local" has become synonymous with good. Trevor Latimer's engagingly written and provocative book acknowledges that some things that are local are good, but denies that what's local is always or even often better than what's far away. He exposes the supposed "virtue" of localism as a hodgepodge of weak arguments and misleading hunches.

Trevor Latimer received his PhD in Politics from Princeton University. He has published widely on topics such as political equality and plural voting, the principle of subsidiarity, Tocqueville and white supremacy, the presidential veto, sympathy and political representation, and the work of Adam Smith.
