Monarchy

Viac o knihe

Exploring the tension between Monarchy and Capitalism, this 1938 work by Hilaire Belloc critiques the outcomes of liberal revolutions, suggesting they led to control by capitalist elites rather than true democracy. Through the lens of Louis XIV's reign, Belloc examines the conflict between monarchy and financial power, contrasting it with the fate of James II in England. The narrative serves as both a historical account and a Catholic reflection on economic justice and the roots of modern globalism. An extensive foreword by Roger Buck enhances the context for contemporary readers.
