There are two selections this week for the Book of the Week:
The First is Jean Jacques Rousseau's Emile A work of the Enlightenment period, this book advocates the rule of the majority (or the General Will) as described in Rousseau's other work The Social Contract. In Emile, Rousseau goes further, advocating education for the populace so they are not manipulated by the people they elect to serve in government. Sounds like good advice for today.
As a bonus, the New York Times has gathered all the questionable statements President Trump has made this year. The link is below. FUN READING.
