Book: Democracy and the Limits of Self-Government

Adam Przeworski (New York University) is the author of "Democracy and the Limits of Self-Government" (Cambridge University Press, August 2010).

Quote: "[I]f we judge contemporary democracies by the ideals of self-government, equality and liberty, we find that democracy is not what it was dreamt to be. This book addresses central issues in democratic theory by analyzing the sources of widespread dissatisfaction with democracies around the world. ... The conclusion is that although some of this dissatisfaction has good reasons, some is based on an erroneous understanding of how democracy functions."

Sorry, our mistake.
