ISBN: 9780865971097 - the limits of state action (42 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. 2014 Reprint of 1854 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Translated by Joseph Coulthard.

It is also crucial for an understanding of liberalism as it developed in Europe at the turn of the nineteenth century.
