Viac o knihe

Exploring the essence of modern democracy, the book critiques the inherent Terror within political systems, tracing its roots to the French Revolution. Ian Dallas argues that the revolution's aftermath led to the rise of a new elite driven by wealth, replacing the old aristocracy. He predicts the emergence of a new Aristocracy from those outside established social orders, referred to as 'Bedouin' by Ibn Khaldun. This work serves as a profound examination of power dynamics and societal structures, urging readers to engage with pressing global issues.
