OverviewOver the years, many writers have claimed that the State has some kind of noble mission. Few have seen things with such clarity as the German sociologist Franz Oppenheimer. The State, Oppenheimer persuasively argues, is always born in the conquest of one group by another. The conquerors then set themselves up as the government and extract tribute in the form of taxes from the conquered. _x000B_ Furthermore, he argues, the State can have originated in no other way and to advance his argument, he draws on vast historical knowledge with dramatic examples of the beginnings of the State from prehistoric to primitive, from huntsmen to herders, from the Vikings to modern day._x000B_ Full Product DetailsAuthor: Franz Oppenheimer , Charles HamiltonPublisher: Black Rose Books Imprint: Black Rose Books Dimensions: Width: 0.50cm , Height: 1.90cm , Length: 0.50cm Weight: 0.396kg ISBN: 9781551643014ISBN 10: 1551643014 Pages: 202 Publication Date: 11 May 2023 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
