Donald Ebsen’s Reviews > Jealousy of Trade: International Competition and the Nation-State in Historical Perspective > Status Update

Hont isn't writing a monograph, but instead writes an extended introduction and select academic articles. Hont intersects modern political theory with Enlightenment philosophers to show how modern political theory came about by an introduction of commerce to the reason of state. The best part about this work is that it isn't strictly intellectual history but a merger of intellectual history with political history.
