HIGH POLITICS IS LARGELY INTRAMURAL AND OPERATES MAINLY IMPROVIZATIONALLY

 

It is, however, an activity conducted largely with reference to a known, shared, understood, intelligible, and factual, past and present. 

I thought to make this remark, following on Pocock's remarks, on Clark's assertions, in Dynamics of Change.

This is the post from the other day:

POCOCK HAS A NICE GLOSS ON BRITISH HIGH POLITICS IN CLARK'S DYNAMICS OF CHANGE, VARIETIES IF WHIGGISM

 Virtue, Commerce, and History.

The best of a bad lot in history, sadly, is quite recherche.
