Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a prescient analysis of the social and political climate in France on the eve of the 1852 coup d'Ã tat. The author, writing in 1851, astutely observes the growing unrest and disillusionment among the populace, particularly among the working class. The book delves into the historical context, tracing the origins of the revolutionary fervor that had gripped France since the late 18th century. The author argues that the lofty ideals of the Revolution had been betrayed by successive governments, leaving the people disillusioned andæ æa more just and equitable society. Against this backdrop, the author analyzes the rise of socialism and the growing influence of radical thinkers such as Louis Blanc. He warns that the government's failure to address the legitimate grievances of the working class will lead to a violent uprising. The author's chillingly accurate predictions of the events of 1852 underscore the book's significance as a profound meditation on the fragility of democracy and the dangers of political extremism.
