G. Hill 
Rousseau’s Theory of Human Association 
Transparent and Opaque Communities

The book explores the characteristic features and political consequences of social interaction when the parties’ intentions are transparent, and when they are opaque. The author develops a theory of association and uses it to elucidate, assess and extend Rousseau’s views of human nature, civil society, the market economy and the republican state.
