Authority In The Modern State (1919)

By Harold J. Laski and Harold Joseph Laski

Book Overview

""Authority in the Modern State"" is a book written by Harold Joseph Laski in 1919. The book explores the concept of authority and its role in modern states. Laski argues that authority is a necessary component of any modern state, but that it must be balanced with individual freedoms and rights. He examines the different forms of authority, including legal, political, and economic, and how they interact with each other. Laski also discusses the relationship between authority and democracy, arguing that democracy can only function properly if there is a balance between authority and individual rights. The book is considered a classic in political theory and has had a significant influence on the development of modern political thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
