viii, 279 pages ; 20 cm Based on the History Of Ideas podcast series by Talking Politics host David Runciman, A History of Ideas explores some of the most important thinkers and prominent ideas lying behind modern politics from Hobbes to Gandhi, from democracy to patriarchy, and from revolution to lock down. While explaining the most important and often-cited ideas of thinkers such as Constant, De Tocqueville, Marx and Engels, Hayek, MacKinnon and Fukuyama, David Runciman shows how crises, revolutions, wars, depressions, pandemics, generated these new ways of political thinking. This is a history of ideas to help make sense of what's happening today. general DAVID RUNCIMAN Includes bibliographical references and index. Creator of Talking Politics--Cover pages.
