Features: The structure and central idea of this book gradually formed through a continuous process of observation, verification, and revision of historical facts, where subsequent observations constantly refine previous perspectives. Only by viewing the book as a whole can one better understand its individual parts, its structure, and its methodology. The book also examines the social origins of the "state." The fundamental purpose of the research is to uncover its historical formation, which is a matter of "power monopoly."
