Reviews for Carl Schmitt and Authoritarian Liberalism: Strong State, Free Economy
'Cristi's interpretation...represents the best discussion of Schmitt's political theory in the English-speaking world to date...Contrary to the prevalent tendancy to impute a substantive and unbroken continuity in Schmitt's work, always anti-liberal, reactionary and anti-democrat, Cristi brilliantly illuminates its development, changes and shifting allegiances revealing its consistent animating tensions.' Philosophy and Social Criticism.
