Moore’s study was a groundbreaking work. It revitalised comparative historical analysis of the evolution of human societies in the social sciences, and revived the macro study of societal change characteristic of the monumental works of Adam Smith, Max Weber and Karl Marx. Moore examined the ways that commercialization, industrialization, and the pre-existing agrarian social order interacted to produce vastly different political outcomes and regimes. He drew particular attention to the violence that preceded the development of democratic institutions. He demonstrated why violence was inescapable in the revolutionary transition that created bourgeois regimes with democratic features.
