Order and Anarchy: Civil Society, Social Disorder and War

ISBN: 9780521674430 出版年：2006 页码：205 Layton Cambridge University Press

Argues against the view that the Capitalist market economy is uniquely conducive to the creation of civil society. Shows that Locke and Ferguson identified civil society with social co-operation based on rational self- interest in all human societies. Draws on Darwinian theory to represent the evolution of social systems and the environments in which they are situated. Criticises claims for a direct evolutionary link between chimpanzee inter-group aggression and human warfare.
