Why competence matters in democracy and the state — and how to balance it with popular power.

In this analysis, the author examines how democracies can channel expertise, moral responsibility, and disciplined leadership into a healthier political system. It argues that both democratic voices and an aristocratic element are essential to govern well, with each informing and restraining the other. The work explores how laws shape morals, how public vitality relies on skilled governance, and how a society can avoid the dangers of incompetent rule.

See how democracy and expertise can blend to strengthen government.
Understand why public voice and professional merit should work together.
Learn how laws and morals influence national character and policy.
Explore historical perspectives on governance from Athens to Rome and beyond.

Ideal for readers of political philosophy and those weighing the balance between popular sovereignty and expert governance.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

French prose, not even the inadequacies of a translation can obscure the force of his argument. The only introduction, therefore, that seems possible must take the form of a request to the reader to 3tudy M. Faguet scriticism of modern democracy with the daily paper in his hand. He will then see, taking chapter by chapter, how in some aspects the phenomena of English democracy are identical with those described in the text, and how in others our English worship of incompetence, moral and technical, differs considerably from that which prevails in France.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the flaws of democratic systems, arguing that they naturally tend to favor incompetence in leadership and governance. The author, a respected political analyst, cites historical examples and modern observations to support his thesis. He posits that democratic societies often elect leaders who share their own biases and lack the expertise necessary for effective decision-making. This phenomenon, known as the 'cult of incompetence,' leads to a decline in governmental efficiency and a disregard for qualifications in favor of political expediency. The book's insightful analysis provides a fresh perspective on the challenges facing democratic systems and offers valuable insights for readers interested in politics, government, and social theory. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781451010817_0
