This seminal work by the renowned French politician and thinker Jules Simon offers a detailed and incisive analysis of the government of Adolphe Thiers, who served as the first President of the French Third Republic from 1871 to 1873. Simon's penetrating critique of Thiers' policies, strategies, and leadership style sheds new light on this crucial period in French history, and his insights continue to inform contemporary debates about the role of government in modern democracies.
