Det har gått ca 25 år sedan jag läste Liedmans föregångare Från Platon till kommunismens fall - och läsupplevelsen är mer positiv den här gången. Som komplement till konventionell historia är det här en intressant bok.

Bra och genomarbetad bok, som tar upp de namn man kan vänta sig från ett verk om politisk historia, men jag saknar exempelvis Jeremy Bentham. Läsvärd.

Så tråkig bok att jag inte kunde fortsätta, läste ett par kapitel men icke sa nicke. Inget för mig
