Description

This comparative history of Spain and England represents a unique synthesis of interdisciplinary fields—including Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology, and Philosophy of Law.

The impressive presentation by the author of the Wars of the Communities in Spain during the 16th century (1520-1522) is examined in contrast to the historical experience of England from the 14th to the 17th century. The Spanish local communities have been a hallmark of Castile—with their deeply rooted traditions and communal customs against central authority. In contrast, in England, the powerful British monarchy willingly reshaped local traditions in order to construct the classic "Anglo-Saxon" system of representative governance that consistently serves capitalism.

The author explores this complex process of political and economic transformation with exceptional bibliographic documentation, summarizing it aphoristically with the phrase "The Tricks of Power." Although this prophetic book was completed more than fifty years ago, its core themes are more relevant than ever.

The phenomenon of our times, globalization—namely the centralization of power on a massive scale—and the increasing fluctuations of capitalism make the historical conclusions of this work vital, not only for the academic community but also for anyone interested in the future of humanity.

In addition to her multifacetedness and erudition, the author also reveals a good sense of humor and an enjoyable approach to literature—with appropriate references or citations from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Zola, Tolstoy, and Dickens, as well as numerous other creators.

Her book "The Communal Mind and the Master Artifice" is published by "The Thinker" for the first time worldwide, in the original language, without cuts or abbreviations.
