The Myth of the Rule of Law

This is simply the most important political essay I've ever read. And I've read lots of them. The teaser:

The reason why the myth of the rule of law has survived for 100 years despite the knowledge of its falsity is that it is too valuable a tool to relinquish. The myth of impersonal government is simply the most effective means of social control available to the state.

Read this. You will not be disappointed.
