Introduction : revolution as disintegration; meltdown and the rise of the strong state; majortheorists and framework of the work -- Background to the early modern era -- Crime in France in thefourteenth and fifteenth centuries -- Medical implications : asocial process and disease -- Persistent danger : asocial behavior in the sixteenth century -- Conclusion : the rise of the despotic government.

This book compares the social decomposition in late medieval Europe to the societal failure witnessed today in the modern West, arguing that in the case of emergencies, a strong despotic state is the only way to maintain basic order. Shlapentokh asserts that asocial behavior (criminality, promiscuity, and anti-sanitary actions, as well as other aspects of social, political, and communal breakdown) in both medieval France and the contemporary West is not a marginal occurrence but rather a mainstream phenomena, and one that can often be stopped by strong force as the only antidote to social chaos. While the majority of Western (and particularly Anglo-American) scholarship dictates that Jeffersonian democracy will spread over the world, Shlapentokh argues that instead itis the preceptsof Hobbes and Carl Schmitt that will shape the world to come.
