Book Overview
""Authority In The Modern State"" is a political science book written by Harold Joseph Laski in 1919. The book explores the concept of authority and its role in modern states. Laski argues that authority is not just derived from traditional sources such as religion or monarchy, but also from the consent of the governed. He examines the relationship between authority and democracy, and how the two concepts can coexist. Laski also discusses the role of the state in maintaining authority and the dangers of authoritarianism. The book is considered a classic in the field of political science and has influenced many political theorists and philosophers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
