Building on David Hume, Adam Smith, and their respective natural histories of man, the author developed an account of the nature of authority in society by analysing changes in subsistence, agriculture, arts, and manufacture. He provides a historical analysis of the ways in which progressive economic change transforms the nature of authority.
