Documenting the process by which government and controlling majorities have grown increasingly powerful and tyrannical, Bertrand de Jouvenel demonstrates how democracies have failed to limit the powers of government.

Bertrand de Jouvenel was an author and teacher, first publishing On Power in 1945.
