Documenting the process by which government and controlling
majorities have grown increasingly powerful and tyrannical,
Bertrand de Jouvenel demonstrates how democracies have failed to
limit the powers of government. This development Jouvenel traces
all the way back to the days of royal absolutism, which established
large administrative bureaucracies and thus laid the foundation of
the modern omnipotent state."On Power" is an important work that
Professor Angelo M. Petroni of the Luigi Einaudi Center for
Research in Torino, Italy, has said is "simply a book that no
serious scholar of political science or political philosophy can
afford to ignore."Bertrand de Jouvenel was born in Paris in 1903;
he traveled widely, becoming an astute observer of British and
American institutions. Later in life, he was an author and teacher,
first publishing "On Power" in 1945. Jouvenel died in 1987. Among
his other books, besides "The Ethics of Redistribution, " are
"Sovereignty: An Inquiry into the Political Good" (1957) and "The
Pure Theory of Politics" (1963).
