Description: | This book aims to add psychological depth to what the Baron de Montesquieu (Montesquieu 1989) described when he wrote that the structures of societies influence the characters of the people who live there, so that republics (and no doubt democracies as well) function best when the mass of people are virtuous, aristocracies function best when the leaders practice moderation (obviously, it is their power that tempts them to go in the opposite direction), which is another way of saying when they do not abuse their power, and monarchies function best when these societies, which are now rather stable and quite bureaucratized compared to other forms of social order, get their elitist functionaries to fulfill their duties out of pride and a sense of honor |
