Alexander’s Reviews > How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions? > Status Update

I'm actually so mad at myself - along with my wider (liberal?) education - for never having come across the distinction between 'social' and 'political' revolution before. Or at least, not as a topic explicitly thematized. Even just having this vocabulary in hand allows one to make sense of so much of history and the present (political = change of guard; social = change in economic and social structure of society).
