Revolution and the European Experience, 1789-1914

Political scientist Post argues that the Europe that is now being united was originally the product of the French Revolution in 1789-95, and was then formed by the emergent industrial capitalism. He explains that the further revolution of the new working class feared by industrial capitalists did not transpire because the working classes were incorporated as part of the dynamics of capitalist development. The communist prediction of revolution he attributes to the failed upsurges of 1848-49.Post, Ken is the author of 'Revolution and the European Experience, 1789-1914', published 1999 under ISBN 9780312222567 and ISBN 0312222564.
