LibriVox a recording of "The Servile State" by Hilaire Belloc, read by Ray Clare.
A clear boundary exists between the servile and the
non-servile condition of labour, and the conditions upon
either side of that boundary utterly differ one from
another, Where there is compulsion applicable by positive
law to men of a certain status, such compulsion enforced in
the last resort by the powers at the disposal of the State,
there is the institution of Slavery ; and if that
institution be sufficiently expanded the whole State may be
said to repose upon a servile basis, and is a Servile State.
(Hilaire Belloc)
