Description
This volume is a companion piece to A Comic Vision of Great Constancy: Stories About Unlocking the Wisdom of Everyman. Instead of drawing conclusions about government from the lives of literary characters, A Comic Vision of Self-Government begins with the political ideas of Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, and Paul Johnson and relates them to narrative examples from wisdom literature. Both books credit Wisdom (why not personify her, as the Bible does) for helping a teacher to survive—in the classroom and as a husband and parent.
