Recenzii

Minogue is an admirable choice for showing us the nuts and bolts of the subject.
a dazzling but unpretentious display of great scholarship and humane reflection.
Professor Minogue's slim volume is an admirably light and sensible guide to political practitioners and students who want to learn more about the theoretical and historical context of today's controversies.
Kenneth Minogue is a very lively stylist who does not distort difficult ideas.
