Second edition of Hall’s seldom-seen political treatise, printed by his own Phoenix Press in Los Angeles. In this work, Hall departs from his usual esoteric subjects to propose a new form of democratic representation grounded in ethics, education, and moral character—arguing that true leadership must come from wisdom rather than ambition.

This copy is an early Phoenix Press variant bound in brown cloth with striking orange Art Deco lettering to the front board and spine, one of several original color bindings issued that year. A clean and well-preserved example showing light shelf wear, gently bumped corners, and mild toning to the first and last few pages. Very Good. Item #103
