More about the book
The book presents a revised perspective on the German nobility during the early modern period, arguing against the notion of a crisis that allowed the state to rise. Instead, it highlights a process of social stratification that resulted in a wealthy elite of noble families, whose cooperation became crucial for the state's stability. This alliance, rather than a collaboration between rulers and the bourgeoisie, is identified as the key factor influencing early modern Germany's political landscape.
