Description:
Democracy is often regarded as an ideal form of government, but in practice, it can sometimes seem like a political puppet show where hidden elites hold the real power. As trust in elected representatives declines worldwide, democratic movements have emerged to "take back control."
In "Can Democracy Work?" James Miller provides an urgent and engaging history of democracy, highlighting its inherent tensions and contradictions. He explores how democracy has been contested, corrupted, and refined through philosophical debates and violent uprisings. The meaning of democracy has evolved in surprising ways in different times and places, from ancient Athens to revolutionary France to post-war America.
With over two thousand years of experimentation with democracy, the book raises the critical question of whether democracy can truly work, especially in complex modern societies. It delves into the challenges and possibilities of this radical political idea.
