Neil Davidson 
Nation-States [EPUB ebook] 
Consciousness and Competition

In his latest collection of essays, Neil Davidson brings his formidable analytical powers to bear on the concept of the capitalist nation-state. Through probing inquiry, Davidson draws out how nationalist ideology and consciousness is used to bind the subordinate classes to “the nation, ” while simultaneously using “the state” as a means of conducting geopolitical competition for capital.
