Paul A. Rahe argues that to understand this phenomenon we must re-examine-starting with Montesquieu-the nature of liberal democracy, its character, and its propensities. In a brilliant exposition of the works of Montesquieu Rahe identifies the profound sense of uneasiness fostered by the modern republic as a source of weakness and as the principal cause of the present discontents.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735577854240,"sku":"NEW030016808X","price":57.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51z5fafWRLL.jpg?v=1779488710","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/montesquieu-and-the-logic-of-liberty-war-religion-commerce-climate-terrain-technology-uneasiness-of-mind-the-spirit-of-political-vigilance-and-the-foundations-of-the-modern-republic-030016808x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
