Political Hypocrisy: The Mask of Power, from Hobbes to Orwell and Beyond, Revised Edition
David Runciman
A critical assessement of the problems of sincerity and truth in politics argues that we should accept hypocrisy as a fact of politics without resigning ourselves to it or embracing it, drawing on the lessons of such thinkers as Hobbes, Mandeville, Jefferson, Bentham, Sigwick, and Orwell.
