Book excerpt: Originally published in 1902, Our Benevolent Feudalism observes that feudalism has arrived again, seasoned with benevolence and the fear of assassination and mobs. The feudal system was a mixture of the legal, economic, military, and cultural traditions that thrived in Medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries. It was a way of structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor.
