Theory Of Social Revolutions

The Theory of Social Revolutions is a book written by Brooks Adams, first published in 1913. The book aims to provide an analysis of the causes and patterns of social revolutions throughout history. Adams argues that social revolutions occur when there is a breakdown of the existing social order, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as economic inequality, political oppression, or cultural change.Adams draws on historical examples such as the French Revolution and the American Civil War to illustrate his theory, and he also examines contemporary events in Europe and Asia to demonstrate the ongoing relevance of his ideas. He argues that social revolutions are not simply random or chaotic events, but rather follow a predictable pattern that can be understood and even predicted.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of Adams' theory of social revolutions, while the second part delves into the historical examples he uses to illustrate his ideas. The third part of the book focuses on contemporary events and offers predictions for the future of social revolutions.Overall, The Theory of Social Revolutions is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the causes and patterns of social upheaval. It remains a relevant and influential work in the field of sociology and political science, and is recommended for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of social change.Municipal law, to be satisfactory, should be a body of abstract principles capable of being applied impartially to all relevant facts, just as Marshall and Jay held it to be. Where exceptions begin, equality before the law ends, as I have tried to show by the story of King David and Uriah, and therefore the great effort of civilization has been to remove judges from the possibility of being subjected to a temptation, or to a pressure, which may deflect them from impartiality as between suitors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
