Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a ground-breaking investigation into the machinations of power in the courts of Europe and explores the consequences of leaving government business to the delegated few, rather than the ruler. Concentrating on the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the author encapsulates the many symbiotic and parasitical ways in which each party interacts with the other. Not simply a study of historical monarchs and ministers, the author places the analysis within a broader philosophical framework which explores the nature of power, corruption, and the state's relationship with its people. The author concludes that the quest for power is an insatiable one, and that the actions of ministers are often in direct opposition to the interests of the people they are supposed to represent. Even more darkly, the author concludes that the cycle of corruption is one from which there is no escape, resulting in the erosion of the spirit of the people and the subversion of their freedoms.
