Synopsis

This book explores the development and structure of the state as an organism for concentrating and distributing political power across a nation. The author argues that this concept of an organic state can be traced back to the collective social groupings and impulses that have characterized human society since its earliest origins. The author further explains how differing political structures and the motivations of those in power can profoundly impact national identity, and the behaviors, incentives, and rights of the individuals living within them. Ultimately, this book positions political structures and their development within their broader historical and philosophical contexts. It draws on a range of historical examples to show how social groups have evolved into nations, and how these nations have developed their own unique political systems.
