- 2615: Liberalism: Hervert Spencer
- ... The state has no business to promote religion, regulate trade and commerce, encourage colonization, aid the poor, or enforce sanitary laws. Spencer went even so far as to deny the state the right to wage war; but as he says in his Autobiography, his youthful enthusiasm of two-and twenty had carried him too far in this respect. Viewing the nature of the state in evolutionary terms, Spencer is little interested ... forms of the state and society, according to Spencer, are the military state and the industrial state.

The wars with the Turks off and on from 1663 to 1791, and the war with the Ottomans, drained the Hapsburg’s energy away from pursuing their goals.

The sporadic placement of Hapsburg territories across Europe was a ...
- 2617: Voltaire and Machiavelli
- ... the Jesuits Cacambo comments; …there the Fathers possesses all, and the people nothing; it is a masterpiece of reason and justice.

Voltaire examines the ... nations overseas trying to amass wealth and fighting with one another.
