Paperback. Etat : 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.
