    COMMUNISM (WORKS OF HAROLD J. LASKI)
    HAROLD J. LASKI
    This volume bases a clear and unbiased account of Communist philosophy on the Marxian Materialist Concept of History and Marxian Theory of Value.

    AUTHORITY IN THE MODERN STATE (WORKS OF HAROLD J. LASKI)
    HAROLD J. LASKI
    As a sequel to Studies in the Problem of Sovereignty, this volume, originally published in 1919, expands Laski’s pluralist doctrine of the state, (using France as its reference) but covers rather broader ground, since its main object is to insist that the problem of sovereignty is only a special case of the problem of authority. The result is a positive, constructive analysis o...

    THE DILEMMA OF OUR TIMES (WORKS OF HAROLD J. LASKI)
    HAROLD J. LASKI

    REFLECTIONS ON THE CONSTITUTION (WORKS OF HAROLD J. LASKI)
    HAROLD J. LASKI
    This work remains of interest to anyone concerned with Britain’s political institutions and how they might be reformed. Laski was strongly in favour of utilising Britain’s capacity for decisive government to drive through great social reforms. He was still confident that there was a majority will for such change and quite unable to imagine the kind of centralisation that was la...
