Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive collection of Austrian history over centuries analyzes the monarchy's rise and fall from its military strength in 1547 to its decline under the rule of Maria Theresa (1740-1780). The author traces the shift from the influential reign of Maximilian and Charles V to the period of the Thirty Years' War under Ferdinand II and III, establishing the second military monarchy of Austria. Following a period of recovery supported by external conflict, the book highlights the drastic religious and socioeconomic changes taking place under the re-introduced Jesuit influence and the Counter-Reformation enforced by Ferdinand II. We see a shift in land ownership as the old noble families are replaced by generals and followers of the Austrian court and camp, with much of the nobility having converted to Catholicism. Despite these shifts in power, this era saw a decline in the power of the central authority, with noble and peasant alike seeking greater independence. By examining the political landscape of the era, this book offers valuable insights into the internal machinations of one of Europe's most powerful empires.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed historical analysis of the causes of the French Revolution, and rebuts the theory that it was brought about by the writings of Enlightenment philosophers. The author posits that the Revolution was the result of a confluence of events including the breakdown of state institutions, financial instability, and tensions between the monarchy and the aristocracy. The author argues that while Enlightenment philosophers like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montesquieu may have inadvertently contributed to the revolutionary climate by criticizing the monarchy and the Church, they did not directly incite the violence and political upheaval that followed. Instead, the author attributes the Revolution to the imprudence of King Louis XVI, the financial mismanagement of his ministers, and the growing unrest among the populace due to economic inequality and food shortages. By examining the complex interplay of these factors, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the origins of one of the most consequential events in modern history.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the rate of profit is the only valid measure of a nation's prosperity. The author demonstrates that a rise in the profit rate is the effect of industry becoming more productive and shows that this increase in productivity leads to a proportionally rapid increase in a country's wealth and population. Conversely, a fall in the rate of profit is the effect of industry becoming less productive and indicates that a country's progress has been clogged and impeded. The author concludes by arguing that a constant increase in capital is never possible without a corresponding increase in profits and that the only ultimate and natural cause of a fall in profits is the necessity of resorting to poorer soils to obtain increased supplies of raw produce.
