Today, we perceive the state as something akin to a natural landscape, a daily mediator in human interactions. We use categories created by the state to describe and classify the world around us. This book allows the reader to distance themselves from the state and view it critically. This raises many questions. How did the state come to be? What is its genealogy, and which social groups created and transformed it? The nature of the state is revealed here through the processes of establishing a monopoly on legitimate violence, taxation, and justice. What does the state give in return, extracting and redistributing society's resources? Disruptions in everyday reproduction can lead to the collapse of individual states. But how realistic are the prophecies concerning its demise or displacement by other forms of regulation of public life? This book, written by Vadim Volkov, professor at the European University at St. Petersburg and academic director of the Institute for Law Enforcement Problems, will help you understand Leviathan in action.
