Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes on the daunting task of tackling the development of political institutions from their origins to the present day. The author begins by acknowledging the deep-seated biases that can impede our understanding of how social structures evolve, and stresses the need to approach the subject with as dispassionate an eye as possible. The author also grapples with the ethical dilemmas that arise when studying human behavior, particularly when those behaviors are seen as repugnant by modern sensibilities. The author argues that it is necessary to recognize the relative nature of good and bad, and to understand that what is considered barbaric in one era may be seen as perfectly acceptable in another. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex and ever-changing nature of human societies. It offers a unique perspective on the evolution of political institutions and challenges us to rethink our assumptions about what constitutes a civilized society.
