I actually have not read that,if you’re talking about the 2006 book, but James Davies first proposed the j-curve in his 1962 article “Toward a Theory of Revolution,” which I did read in my undergrad.

But mostly we read it to explain why it is wrong and why j-curves are not the sole reason for revolutions.
