The key to human nature that Marx found in wealth & Freud in sex, Russell finds in power. Power, he argues, is the species' ultimate goal, & is, in its many guises, the single most important element in the development of any society. Writing in the late 1930s when Europe was being torn apart by extremist ideologies & the world was on the brink of war, he set out to found a 'new science' to make sense of the traumatic events of the day & explain those that would follow. The result was Power, a remarkable book that he regarded as one of the most important of his long career.
