The Book of Merlyn: The Unpublished Conclusion to the Once and Future King by T.H. White

5.0

Having not read Once and Future King in a long time, I don't know if this follows the theme White set out in the previous 4 chapters. This was definitely more of an anti-war book, sort of an appeal to the ferocity and hubris of humans, but with exploring the geese and ants, perhaps that is what we are meant to be. I appreciate the idea that although capitalism is not 'natural', it is something unique to humans that our cerebrums allow us to pursue, so for humans, it is perfectly natural, even if capitalism is not found in the rest of the animal world.
