Synopsis

Excerpt from Problems of Modern Democracy: Political and Economic Essays

And, on the other hand, its friends have been roused by the same causes into more vigorous defence of it than they ever ventured on before. There are many persons in America today who five years ago looked grave over universal suffrage, or expressed private doubts Of its success, but who are now to be found in the ranks Of its most enthusiastic defenders, breathing defiance of aris tocrats and aristocracy from every pore, and con signing every form of political organization in which power does not flow directly from the people, in yearly or biennial driblets, to unutterable failure and confusion.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The controversy between the supporters of oligarchy and those of democracy, which has raged with greater or less heat ever since the middle of the last century, has drawn fresh vigor from the spectacle of the American war. Both sides have found in this great struggle, not only, to use the pulpit phrase, an occasion to improve, but au endless supply of illustrations for the enforcement or elevation of their respective theories. The one sees, both in the causes of the struggle and in the manner in which it has been conducted, a series of conclusive proofs of the failure of popular government ;the other finds in the incidents of each hour some new justification of its confidence in popular fortitude, honesty, and sagacity. And the discussion has been exacerbated by the fact, that neither party has been a disinterested spectator of the contest.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
