| Summary |
A four volume work on the nature of power in human societies. In it, Michael Mann identifies the four principal 'sources' of power as being control over economic, ideological, military, and political resources. He examines the interrelations between these in a narrative history of power from Neolithic times to the globalization of present times. He also examines in v. 4 the three great crises that emerged - nuclear weapons, the great recession and climate change |
