Krátky popis
Democracy today is widely regarded as an ideal form of government.
Yet in practice it sometimes seems a sham, a political puppet show
in which hidden elites pull all the strings. As trust in elected
representatives around the world plunges, it is no wonder that
democratic revolts have erupted - from Cairo to Kiev and beyond -
in an effort to 'take back control'.In this urgent and lively
history, James Miller reminds us that democracy has always
generated tensions and contradictions. Through philosophical
debates and violent uprisings, it has been contested, corrupted,
and refined. In different times and different places - from ancient
Athens to revolutionary France to post-war America - its meaning
has shifted in surprising ways.For over two thousand years, the
world has experimented with democracy. But can it really work -
especially in complex modern societies?
