He develops his own theories of the causes for the French Revolution but also portrays French attempts to disassociate themselves with the decision making of the Old Regime. During this time, the French nobility lost all connection with the poor and the differences in social classes were so extreme, that even in a post-feudal Paris, the classes could not agree.
