Description
When Men Revolt and Why explores the complex relationships between humans and institutions that aim to help them realize their full potential. This thought-provoking book examines how people respond to change, and how institutions can either facilitate or inhibit this process. The contributors to this volume offer a range of perspectives on the causes of violence, drawing on the ideas of influential thinkers such as Aristotle, Tocqueville, Marx, Engels, and Brinton. The book's relevance is underscored by its publication in 1997, a time marked by significant social movements around the world, including protests against war, struggles for civil rights, and demands for equality. This timely analysis remains relevant today as we navigate uncertainty in various parts of the world. By understanding how humans respond to change, we can better prepare ourselves for the responses that come with it.
