While explaining the most important and often-cited ideas of thinkers such as Constant, De Tocqueville, Marx and Engels, Hayek, MacKinnon and Fukuyama, David Runciman shows how crises, revolutions, wars, depressions, pandemics, generated these new ways of political thinking. This is a history of ideas to help make sense of what's happening today.10aWorld politics.20aPhilosophy.
