Excerpt from Government for the People
The world has marched far in the four years since this book first made its appearance. We have, however, made comparatively little progress in the matters covered by its pages. The whole energy of mankind has gone into the waging of a world war and the solution of the international problems left behind it. In many of the warring countries the need of victory or the shock of defeat has produced great changes in governmental organization. But in the United States the forms of domestic politics have remained fixed in the face of war. We have thought little in these years of struggle for democracy of how democracy might be preserved from itself! It is time to think again.
I desire to acknowledge the assistance in preparing this revised edition of Dr. Charles E. Martin and Dr. J. R. Douglas, my colleagues at the University of California.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling critique of the shortcomings of modern democracy in the US. Given the increase in individual and corporate corruption and the dwindling sense of social obligation, the text explores how the government has failed to deliver on the social justice it once promised. The author meticulously traces the historical evolution of representative democracy, highlighting the ways in which it has fallen short of its ideals. While democracy is considered an untried experiment, with universal suffrage being a relatively new feature, the book argues that we must address the key problems of this system in order to return to the ideals on which it was founded. Throughout, the book situates this critique within the broader context of democratic development in the West, and traces the historical shifts within the US democratic system. Engaging with the ideas of authors like Plato and Burke, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to get a deeper understanding of the complex challenges facing democracy in the 21st century. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330123577_0
