Summary of Never Again: Ending War, Democide, & Famine Through Democratic Freedom (Never Again Series)

One Moral Good is that liberal democracies, those whose people are individually free with secure civil and political rights and liberties, don't make war on each other, as President Bush has stated correctly in support of his foreign policy. Another is that their democratic governments do not murder them. And a third is that their internal political violence is minimal compared to non-democracies.

All this alone would make freedom the foremost Moral Good. But this book also shows that free people -- democracies -- never have famines, and that freedom is an engine of the greatest wealth and development among nations.

In short, to the Moral Imperative, "No people should ever suffer war, democide, famine, and mass impoverishment, no, never again," this book proves that fostering individual freedom is the practical way to assure this.
