Rethinking democracy and competence for a stronger nation. This nonfiction work examines how democratic and aristocratic elements can balance a country, emphasizing the role of real ability in government and the dangers of incompetence.

In these pages, you’ll explore how laws, morals, and national character influence a society’s health. The author argues that both the people and their leaders must value expertise—technical, moral, and intellectual—to keep a nation resilient and just.

How democracy and aristocracy can blend to form a healthy state.

Why competence matters in government and public service.

Historical examples that illustrate the tension between equality and merit.

Ways law and morals shape national character and policy.

Ideal for readers of political philosophy and history who want a clear, accessible look at governance, leadership, and the costs of incompetence.

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.

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

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
