Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the complex historical, social, and political causes of the increasing departure of educated people from involvement in politics. The author counters the view that democracy, and particularly the ways in which democracy has evolved in the United States, leads to a decline in public discourse by arguing that the educated class throughout history has been distrustful of popular movements and the exercise of power by the majority. The author contends that rather than being an inevitable consequence of democracy, the withdrawal of the intellectual elite from direct political participation stems from a misconception of their proper role within the democratic process. The author suggests that members of the educated class have the most profound and meaningful impact on politics through their influence on the development of public opinion. This book provides valuable insights into the nature of politics in a democracy and the ways in which members of society contribute to the public good. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
