From Amazon: "John Farrell shows that political utopias―societies with laws and customs designed to short-circuit the foibles of human nature for the benefit of our collective existence―have a perennial opponent, the honor-based culture of aristocracy that dominated most of the world from ancient times into early modernity and whose status-based competitive psychology persists to the present day." John Farrell is the Waldo W. Neikirk Professor of Literature at Claremont McKenna College, where he has been teaching since 1990.
