Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. X, 267 Pp. Beige Cloth, Spine Lettered In Gilt. First Printing Indicated. Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket Priced $19.95. One Of The Only Books About The Most Important Specific Function Of Modern Democratic Activity, The Selection Of Elites, Affecting The Lives Of The Entire World's Population More Than Any Other Single Factor. This Book Had Virtually No Trade Sales, Because, Possibly, Almost No One Is Interested In Thinking About The Choices Of The General Population Subject To The Power And Influence Of The Elites; Instead, Debate Centers On The Efficiency And Fairness Of Institutional Processes; The Morality And Effectiveness Of Those Being Selected Escapes Public Debate And Is Not Really A Factor In The Selection Process. Hitler And Stalin, Truly Vicious Autocrats, Were Democratically Enabled, Setting The Stage For Modern World Politics. But The Book Is Read Mainly As A Guide To Choosijg And Being Chosen With A Minimum Of Fuss. Seller Inventory # 060068
