Excellent and enjoyable,
This review is from: Codes of Power: Political Thought from Plato's Cave to Game Theory (Portable Professor)
This series of lectures looks at the evolution of political theory from the Ancient Greeks, Machiavelli, through the beginnings of Modernity, and into recent history with the end of the Cold War and how game theory was used to understand the political environment produced by bi-polarity. My only gripe, and it is a small one and a compliment on how well the rest of the material is presented, is that he did not take us right into our own times and take a brief look at the how the collapse of the USSR changed how politics was conceived and perhaps mention the theses of men like Friedman and Huntington and the struggle for a new paradigm to understand the world. But what is in the lecture is a great introduction to political theory, its history, and how it is used as well as being entertaining to listen to. I highly recommend it.
