"[T]here are no institutions on earth that enable each separate person to have a hand in the exercise of Power, for Power is command, and everyone cannot command. Sovereignty of the people is, therefore, nothing but a fiction, and one which must in the long run prove destructive of individual liberties." de Jouvenel, On Power.
"the spirit of domination never slumbers." de Jouvenel, On Power.
"On Power's fundamental insight [is] that the ideological allure of democracy and socialism had made modern man dangerously complacent before the usurpations of Power." Daniel J. Mahoney, Bertrand de Jouvenel.
