"A must read for both the people & the leaders of ALL the dictatorial regimes around the world (democracies would also surely benefit). A book for all times to come. His understanding & explanation of where the real power lies is outstanding. What s breathtaking is how relevent his arguments are today & how strikingly similar the working of all governments turn out to be (as generalized by Hart). He deals with issues such as 'patterns & psychology of dictatorship', 'power politics in a democracy' & lastly the the 'desire for power' & 'War'."--Ali S. Burki.

98 S. // Klappentext: "Wenn eine Lehre aus der Geschichte klar sein sollte, so ist es die, dass schlechte Mittel das Ziel verfälschen, oder den Weg, der dorthin führt. Ich möchte den Nebenlehrsatz vorschlagen, dass, wenn wir auf die Mittel achten, der Zweck schon auf sich selbst achten wird. An Zwecklosigkeit nur der Verfolgung eines Zweckes ohne Rücksicht auf die Mittel nachgeordnet, ist der Versuch, Fortschritt durch Zwang zu erreichen. Die Geschichte zeigt, wie oft das zum Rückschritt geführt hat. Sie zeigt ebenfalls, dass der sichere Weg in der Erzeugung und Verbreitung der Idee des Fortschritts liegt - wodurch ein Leuchtfeuer für die Menschen errichtet wird, sie zu führen, anstatt einer Peitsche, um sie anzutreiben. Für kollektive Aktion genügt es, wenn die Masse dirigiert werden kann; kollektives Wachstum hingegen ist nur möglich durch die Freiheit und Ausweitung des individuellen Geistes. Es ist nicht der Mann, der hier zählt, noch weniger die Masse; die vielen sind es."/// Vorderdeckel oben mit Riss. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 160 21 x 14 cm.
