Oren Quarles, Professor Emeritus at Columbia, founded Egalitarianism as a philosophy if not also as a political movement and is still alive. He refers to:
de Tocqueville
Jouvenel
Louis XIV
the French Revolution
blue laws
Quarles lectures for a few pages as in a Platonic dialogue. I will carefully analyze what he says but maybe we have already had enough concentrated information for a single short post?

Kaor, Paul!
I have read some of the works of Alexis de Tocueville and Bertrand de Jouvenel. Such as the former's THE OLD REGIME AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION and the latter's ON POWER. The latter because Poul Anderson recommended it to me. Both are among the too many books I should reread.
And I have nothing but contempt for the worthless and brutal French Revolution!
