Synopsis

Aspects of twentieth-century democracy such as economic justice, human rights, industrial democracy, property, pluralism, and the roots of liberalism are explored in this book, which carries further the analyses made in C.B. Macpherson's previous two books. The essays contained in this volume are at once comparative and historical, and their subject-matter is wide-ranging.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In his final book, one of the giants of twentieth-century political philosophy returns to his key themes of state, class, and property as well as such contemporary questions as economic justice, human rights, and the nature of industrial democracy. Macpherson not only re-examines historical issues dealt with in his earlier works, such as the impact of Hobbes's economic assumptions on his political theories, but assesses the problematic future of democracy in a market society. This new edition includes an introduction by Frank Cunningham that places the book in the broader context of Macpherson's work.
