The world today is full of strong men and their imitators. Caesarism is alive and well. Yet in modern times it&#8217;s become a strangely neglected subject. Ferdinand Mount opens up a fascinating exploration of how and why caesars seize power and why they fall. There is a comforting illusion shared by historians and political commentators from Fukuyama back to Macaulay, Mill and Marx, that history progresses in a nice straight line towards liberal democracy or socialism, despite the odd hiccup. In reality, every democracy, however sophisticated or stable it may look, has been attacked or actually destroyed by a would-be caesar, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Marx was wrong. This Caesarism is not an absurd throwback, it is an ever-present danger.<\/p>\n<!-- Jellybooks Discovery Plugin: Not on a regular page -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author Ferdinand Mount Published by Bloomsbury Continuum ISBN 9781399409728 EAN 9781399409728 Bic Code JPHL|JPHX|NHTB|NHB Cover Paperback<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":73267,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[9354],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-68908","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-politics-current-affairs","8":"first","9":"onbackorder","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
