Informationen zum Autor Iain McDaniel is Teaching Fellow in the History of Political Thought at University College London. Klappentext Unlike his contemporaries, who saw Europe¿s prosperity as confirmation of a utopian future, the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Adam Ferguson saw a reminder of Rome¿s lesson that egalitarian democracy could become a self-undermining path to dictatorship. This is a major reassessment of a critic overshadowed today by David Hume and Adam Smith.
