What works best? Can it be applied here ? 3

Hobbes. State provide law and order 29We associate by fear, not class or affiliation. Give up natural rights to rise out of civil war 30 

King legitimacy from diff source. Not divine rights but social contract. Give up lessor rights for safety. State is made for the subjects, not subjects for the king. 32. Not material, not real. What does state do? 33
Europe state power yet allow freedom, change. Description of countries. 37

Separate countries meant defending many threats. Built adaptive military machines. Econ to fund it 39-40

Victorian reform. Cut size and cost of state. 51-53
Hegel 60 Marx ignored the state. Saw only a method of class rule. Yet sets rules of rule game. 64

Freedom from external control or freedom from want. Equal before the law or equality of opportunity ? 69

Rule of law absent as force in west rise. 
Mill left lean discussed as pursuasion from liberals. No real need of state to produce workers regulate society. Build infrastructure   Touches on decay in old corrupt non merit system but gloss over investments needed to build diff. 58 

Hegel starts with insult then talks of whorsip state rather that create conditions for markets. 60. National greatness not public health the reason for cleaning up slums. Simple, incomplete polemic. 60
