  2. 2 Cover of On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection: Or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life
    On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection: Or, the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life Darwin, Charles

Its influence on public policy, education, and colonial ideology makes it essential for understanding technocratic governance and its discontents.
