Features: This book is a foundational work of Italian conservative political science, arguing that any society is composed of two entirely opposing classes—the ruling class and the ruled class. This assertion greatly influenced and contributed to the rise of "elite theory" in Western political science. At the same time, the book is also a richly detailed history of political civilization, with unique perspectives and concise arguments. It can serve as a foundational reading for humanities.
