Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on an exploration of the relationship between liberty and democracy, questioning their compatibility. The author argues that true liberty is not found in democracy, as the common people lack the capacity to govern themselves due to their ignorance and susceptibility to manipulation. The book delves into the historical and philosophical underpinnings of this argument, examining the role of elites and the dangers of unchecked popular power. Through rigorous analysis and insightful examples, the author challenges conventional wisdom on democracy's virtues, exposing its inherent limitations and the potential for tyranny to arise from within its ranks.
