This set comprises works spanning Laski's career as a political
thinker and the volumes re-issued here examine the questions of how
government might be made more open and accountable and how the
broad-based properity necessary to democracy might be assured.
These remain central questions for both established and emerging
democracies. Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty (1917),
Authority in the Modern State (1919), and The Foundations of
Sovereignty (1921) are all works which expand Laski's pluralist
doctrine of the State; a theory then applied in modified form in A
Grammar of Politics (1925). Communism (1927) argues against the
concept of a Western Communist revolution. Democracy in Crisis
(1933) and the more optimistic Reflections on the Constitution
(1951) result from the defeat of Labour in 1931 and the onset of
the Slump, at which point Laski rejected pluralism in favour of
Marxist theory. Reflections on the Revolution of Our Time (1949)
predicts a "revolution by consent" arising from the common
war-effort. Also included are An Introduction to Politics (1931),
The Rise of European Liberalism (1936) Parliamentary Government in
England (1938), The Danger of Being a Gentleman (1939), Programme
for Victory (1941), The Strategy of Freedom (1942) and The Dilemma
of Our Times (1952).
