A wide-ranging collection of essays and reviews surveys the rise and fall of governments, analyzes constitutional arrangements and the tendencies and limits of state power, and proposes principles for just administration and political reform. It treats labor, capital, money and finance as central to human equality, offers practical pronouncements and policy discussion, and includes reflections on life from a scientific perspective that inform forecasts about social development. Women's political claims are examined alongside broader questions about the future role of representative institutions and national responsibility.
