Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

Ethosism: Self-Enslavement Abolitionist Manifesto

 Ethosism: Self-Enslavement Abolitionist Manifesto, Jo M. Sekimonyo, Resource Publications, 2020

For many years, communism and capitalism have brought misery to untold millions of people all over the world. That is, except for the rich who get much richer, while everyone else gets poorer. This book asserts that even socialism is just another method of enslaving people through capitalism. Is there an alternative?

The author calls it Ethosism. In the present day, more people than ever have the chance to own their own means of engagement or participation in an enterprise. In effect, people can create their own job or career. Therefore, the "isms," communism, socialism and capitalism are much less important than they have been in the past.

This is not "Political Philosophy for Beginners". This book will require some mental effort on the part of the reader. Don't try to understand this entire book in one sitting. Take it one chapter at a time, or even one section (they are only a couple of pages long) at a time. This book is very much worth the time.
