George Fitzhugh Books

This American social theorist, judge, and writer was a critic of the philosophical foundations of personal liberty and capitalism. In his work "Sociology for the South," he launched a sharp attack on Adam Smith, John Locke, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as the entire liberal tradition. He argued that free labor and free markets enriched the strong while crushing the weak. His "Cannibals All!" offered a pointed critique of the "wage-slavery" system prevalent in the North.
