Written by one of the twentieth century’s most significant
thinkers, Freedom and Organization, is considered to be
Bertrand Russell’s major work on political history. It traces the
main causes of political change during a period of one hundred
years, which he argues were predominantly influenced by three major
elements – economic technique, political theory and certain
significant individuals. In the witty, approachable style that has
made Bertrand Russell’s works so revered, he explores in detail the
major forces and events that shaped the nineteenth century.
