    On Power: The Natural History of Its Growth (Bertrand de Jouvenel)

    A classic, but often misunderstood, study of Power. Not a libertarian manifesto, nor any endorsement of so-called classical liberalism. And contrary to myth, not a rejection of the ability of populism to effect regime change. Rather, a total repudiation of democracy, and an endorsement of aristocratic rule governed by natural law.
