A book recognized as a classic in modern sociology, from Michael Mann, author of the bestsellers "The Dark Side of Democracy" and "Fascists."

Michael Mann, one of the most influential sociologists of our time, challenges classical theories of state and society in this pivotal work. Rejecting notions of the state as a simple servant of capital or the embodiment of the general will, he proposes his celebrated model of the state as a dynamic network of institutions with its own autonomy of power. Through the prism of history—from the Roman Empire to the world wars of the 20th century—Mann explores how the interweaving of ideological, economic, military, and political power shapes the destinies of peoples and the borders of states. This book is a fundamental contribution to political sociology, a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the deep sources of power, the causes of war, and the nature of capitalism.
