Description
On Power: The Natural History of Its Growth
By Bertrand de Jouvenel, first published in 1945, this book examines the development of government power and its impact on democracies.
De Jouvenel argues that the growth of government power can be traced back to the days of royal absolutism, which established large administrative bureaucracies that laid the foundation for the modern state.
