  • THE STATE OF SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING
    HAROLD LASKI / ALBERT N. GRECO

    HAROLD LASKI
    Harold J. Laski saw World War Two as a period of revolutionary change as profound as any in the modern history of the human race.

  • 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)
