Recenzii
'Putterman's signal and invaluable contribution is to demonstrate the ways in which Rousseau's attention to institutional design consistently aimed at enhancing rather than disabling the people's authority over, and their freedom through, laws. Rather than revealing a hidden preference for elite control over citizens, Rousseau's institutional sophistication instead affirms his profound commitment to popular sovereignty.'
