Synopsis
In this scathing and darkly humorous critique, H.L. Mencken dissects the failings and delusions of democracy. With his trademark wit and unsparing insight, Mencken argues that the democratic system, rather than empowering the masses, instead reduces them to a herd of fools easily manipulated by charlatans and demagogues. He exposes how the lofty ideals of liberty and equality give way to base human instincts, creating a political circus that elevates the incompetent and unscrupulous. Mencken spares no sacred cow as he lays bare the corruption, hypocrisy and sheer rascality at the heart of democratic government. First published nearly a century ago, Notes on Democracy remains as provocative and grimly entertaining as ever. For anyone who suspects there is something terminally amiss in the politics of the modern world, Mencken provides a brutally honest diagnosis that continues to resonate to this day.
