Camcastle sheds new light on Maistre's conception of government as being made up of groups in dynamic counterbalance and on the system of inconvertible paper money that he developed a century before a similar system was universally adopted in the twentieth century. Camcastle provides a more complete and balanced picture of Maistre's political writings through original interpretations of his published works and translations from French and Italian into English of previously unpublished writings that substantiate key points.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;41.EconomicsPhilosophyPolitical sciencePhilosophyInternational relationsPhilosophyÉconomie politiquePhilosophieScience politiquePhilosophieRelations internationalesPhilosophiePolitieke ideeëngttEconomicsPhilosophy.Political sciencePhilosophy.International relationsPhilosophy.Économie politiquePhilosophie.Science politiquePhilosophie.Relations internationalesPhilosophie.Politieke ideeën.194Camcastle Cara1973-1521632MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782180603321The more moderate side of Joseph de Maistre3760951UNINA
