- fidgewidge 4y agoThanks. I will try to find time to read them. If you know if a good summary of their arguments that'd be appreciated.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoA quick skim suffices to get an overview of what the authors say are unavoidable failures in confederacies. Each paper focuses on a particular topic, giving examples from governments in antiquity and contemporary governments, with some exposition about how the way they were set up led them inevitably to failure in that area.
