Addresses what the author terms "the Roman dilemma" - the paradoxical notion that while global society depends on a system of rules for building peace and prosperity, this system inevitably leads to domestic clashes, international rivalry, and even wars. This book argues that a rule-based world order eventually subverts and destroys itself.
