This book, first published in 1971, is a close analysis of some of the typical peasant uprisings of the seventeenth century. The goal of the movements in France and China was a return to an older and more traditional society, rather than a profound transformation of the social structure. In Russia, however, the peasants attempted to overturn the rigid order of a two-class structure and replace it with a more democratic society.

Political and administrative institutions cannot be understood
unless one knows who is operating them and for whose benefit they
function. In the first volume of this history, Mousnier analyzes
such institutions in light of the prevailing social, economic, and
ideological structures and shows how they shaped life in 17th- and
18th-century France. He traces the changing role of monarchical
government, showing how it emerged over two centuries and why it
failed.
