A Tramp’s Philosophy: The Rediscovered Classic of Sagacious Twaddle, and Occasional Insight by One with Erudition and Experience in Peregrination

This new entry in Feral House’s Tramp Lit Series is Bart Kennedy’s late work distilling his life and experiences into a concept for living. He includes insights on everything from religion to civilisation, crime, and the lure of the open road. ‘No social system or state can be really worth anything where the paramount aim is not to allow the individual to develop to the fullest, both mentally and physically. And this aim has never been the aim of any civilised state. The aim of all civilised states has been to keep the masses in subjugation for the benefit of cliques. And this is as true of republics as it is of autocracies. The money clique that rules America is more oppressive than is the Grand Ducal clique of Russia. It has a far worse effect on the American character.
