Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the dogma and consequences of France's 1789 revolution, arguing that the mindset and decisions made at that time continue to shape European politics and society to this day. The author refutes the common understanding that the revolution was primarily a response to intolerable abuses, holding instead that the abuses themselves stemmed from falsely-held beliefs about human equality and the foundation of political power. Exploring contemporary events like the Reign of Terror, Paris Commune, and the rise and fall of the Second Empire, the author details the disastrous social and political consequences of a policy that pursued equality at all costs. Through examination of historical events, this book offers fresh perspectives on the challenges and complexities of social and political power.
