I wish to make acknowledgment of the con stant encouragement which has been afforded me throughout the various stages of my work by Professor David P. Barrows, Head of the Political Science Department and Dean of the Faculties of the University of California. Al though differing with me materially in some of my conclusions, he has always urged me to a sincere expression of my own views. Mr. J. H. Quire has assisted me in the correction of proofs, and Mr. J. R. Douglas, Teaching Fel low in Political Science, has given untiring service in the preparation of the book for the press. My greatest helper has been my wife, who at every stage has been ready with pointed criticism.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling critique of the shortcomings of modern democracy in the US. Given the increase in individual and corporate corruption and the dwindling sense of social obligation, the text explores how the government has failed to deliver on the social justice it once promised. The author meticulously traces the historical evolution of representative democracy, highlighting the ways in which it has fallen short of its ideals. While democracy is considered an untried experiment, with universal suffrage being a relatively new feature, the book argues that we must address the key problems of this system in order to return to the ideals on which it was founded. Throughout, the book situates this critique within the broader context of democratic development in the West, and traces the historical shifts within the US democratic system. Engaging with the ideas of authors like Plato and Burke, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to get a deeper understanding of the complex challenges facing democracy in the 21st century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330123577_0
