Americans have long believed that they live in a democratic nation--where government is responsive to the people and where wealth and happiness are available to all.

In the American experience, some sense of religious pluralism and relative social harmony has been maintained. However, for this relationship to prevail, a tension must continue to exist--one that balances the political and social pursuits of self-interest with meeting the objectives of...

The Uncivil War: How a New Elite Is Destroying Our Democracy
ISBN: 9781589791510 / Angielski / Twarda / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This controversial book describes how the New Elite-a self-selected class whose members believe they know what's good for the rest of us-has been systematically attacking our tradition of majority rule. The capture of our political parties by extremists, campaigns based on anger rather than issues, laws created by unelected judges, congressmen immune from defeat, and an alienated and ignored electorate-all these represent a calculated effort of a new class to replace the public will with its own. Who are the New Elite? They are, Lebedoff asserts, the self-proclaimed "smartest people in the...

Carefully and clearly evaluating the fundamental options of normative political theory, philosopher...
