Considerations on Representative Government
ISBN: 9780879756703 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 365 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

On Representative Government is one of the most compelling political essays of the 19th century. In this powerful work, John Stuart Mill sets forth representative government as the most sensible compromise between unreflective rule by the masses a...
