Cover of Pierre Manent: Metamorphoses of the City (ePUB)

Metamorphoses of the City is a sweeping interpretation of Europe’s ambition to generate ever better forms of collective self-government, from ancient city-states and empires to a universal church and the nation-state. But the nation-state is nearing the end of its line, Pierre Manent says, and what will supplant it remains to be seen.
