The author contends that the revolution was instead caused by financial problems, the convocation of the States-General, and the indecisiveness of the royal court. He also discusses the theories of Rousseau, Mably, Condorcet, and other writers who have been accused of promoting revolutionary ideas, arguing that their influence was minimal. The author concludes that the revolution was a complex event with many causes, and that it cannot be attributed to any single factor.
