About the book
James Burnham examines the contributions of classic political theorists—Machiavelli, Pareto and Mosca—to understanding realities of political power often obscured by ideologies. He argues that these thinkers offer more honest analyses of how power actually works, stripped of utopian abstractions.
A provocative work that recovers lessons from often misunderstood authors, offering intellectual tools for clearer and more realistic political analysis.
