This is a double thread. First, I have been reading someBurke, Hayek, and Elmore Leonard. I gathered something like this, with some slight changes of my own to the idea, social institution evolve from mutual exchange of ideas and cannot be "planned" without the initiation of force. Gradual changes is preferable to radical change. The State often preserve institution that are "dying", so to speak, and attempts to "plan" social institutions. Marriage for example, it is not being allowed to evolve, or devolve however you whichever you prefer, because the State is protecting that institution with legislation. Marriahe should be left to the people and it will change from there.
Does that make any sense?

Also, the second question is, what's your favorite book?

It is the fear of change. The idea that without certian conscepts and instatuitions protected the community will turn into chaos.

I like How to Argue and Win Every Time by Gerry Spence

Don't have much of an opinion on the first.

Favorite book is either Paradise Lost or Wuthering Heights.
