Today, the state appears to us as something like a natural landscape, a daily mediator in the interactions between people. We use government-created categories to describe and classify the world around us. This book allows the reader to create a distance in relation to the state and look at it from a critical point of view. There are many questions here. How did the state happen to us? What is its genealogy, what social groups created and modified it? The nature of the state is revealed here through the processes of formation of a monopoly of legitimate violence, taxation and justice. What does the state give in return by withdrawing and redistributing society's resources? Failures in daily reproduction can lead to the collapse of individual states. But how realistic are the prophecies regarding its withering away or being replaced by other forms of regulation of public life? To understand Leviathan in action, this book, written by Vadim Volkov, a professor at the European University in St. Petersburg, scientific director of the Institute for Law Enforcement Problems, will help.
