«La invención del poder» is Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's essay on Western political history, published by Siruela in paperback (416 pages).
For Bueno de Mesquita, Western exceptionalism is not explained by culture, religion, or race, but by a pact: the Concordat of Worms (1122), which allied the Church and states in exchange for money and power. That agreement supposedly drove the economy, secularization, and citizen welfare.
Spanish edition published in 2024. Part of Siruela's Biblioteca de Ensayo collection.
For readers of historical and political essays interested in the role of the Church and the state in the development of the West.
