In Adams’s first important historical work, published in 1887, the author argues that Puritan Massachusetts had once been a theocracy where there was no place for freedom of religion, speech, or opinion, and that succeeding generations had to struggle for these freedoms. The book also contains the first expression of Adams’s preoccupation with the relationship between historical events and economic conditions.

Sobre o autor
Brooks Adams (1848-1927), the younger brother of the better-known Henry Adams, was a notable historian in his own right. In books like The Law of Civilization and Decay (1895) and America’s Economic Supremacy (1900), he espoused a theory of cyclical economic rise and fall to which all commercial civilizations are subject.
