Hegemon

"Mosher shows how the concept of the Hegemon, a political order based on naked power, was developed by Chinese strategists 2,800 years ago. As it evolved over the next six centuries, it came to mean that total control of a state's population and resources would be concentrated in the hands of a "hegemon-king" who would use it to establish his "hegemon-power" over all the states in the known world.". "In Hegemon, Mosher analyzes the importance of power in Chinese history and state-craft, where its exercise became something like an art form."--BOOK JACKET.
