This fresh examination of the works of Montesquieu seeks to
understand the shortcomings of the modern democratic state in light
of this great political thinker's insightful critique of commercial
republicanism. The western democracies' muted response to victory
in the Cold War signaled the presence of a pervasive discontent, a
sense that despite this victory liberal democracy itself was deeply
flawed. Paul A. Rahe argues that to understand this phenomenon we
must re-examine-starting with Montesquieu-the nature of liberal
democracy, its character, and its propensities. In a brilliant
exposition of the works of Montesquieu Rahe identifies the profound
sense of uneasiness fostered by the modern republic as a source of
weakness and as the principal cause of the present discontents.
