Perhaps most important, he demonstrates that not only the impetus toward a totalitarian regime but also the egalitarian impulse in democratic societies are alike in being rooted in envy.\u003c/p\u003e\n","date_published":"2025-02-10T 3:07:49-0500","image":"https://oll-resources.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/oll3/store/titles/2817/schoeckenvy_9780865970649_800h_72.jpg"},{"id":"https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/writings-on-standing-armies","url":"https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/writings-on-standing-armies","title":"Writings on Standing Armies\n","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe questions of where to locate, in whose hands to place, and how to exercise the state’s powers of deadly military force inform a perennial topic in political theory and coalesce into a recurrent problem in political practice.
