“…Ultimately, this volume demonstrates that state formation in eighteenth-century Britain was a contested process of interest aggregation, in which common partisan aims helped to negotiate compromises between various irreconcilable public priorities and private interests, within the frameworks provided by formal institutions, which were then collaboratively imposed through overlapping and intersecting networks of formal and informal agents. -- Back cover jacket…”

“…These challenges to the intuitive story have a wide variety of sources, but I think we can discern a common pattern in many of them: they rest on the assumption that a sentence can represent the world only if its meaning can receive a particular kind of explanation one that makes reference to semantic relations between the sentence and the bits of the world that the sentence represents. …”

“…The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren't linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan's essay calling for "containment" of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat"--…”
