Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Focusing on the evolution of authority within society, the book offers a progressive analysis influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment's key figures. It examines how changes in subsistence, agriculture, and manufacturing reshape social hierarchies. Drawing from Adam Smith's four-stages theory and traditional natural law, the author argues that as economic conditions improve, authority becomes less oppressive and more diversified. This work stands out as a significant contribution to the understanding of social structure and the dynamics of power in relation to economic progress.
