Democracy: A History ReviewThis is not an easy book to read. The phrasing is peculiar and the sentences are frankly long; it is easy to lose the author's main points.
Having said that, the story is fascinating and worth knowing: how an obscure and idiosyncratic idea born in Athens came to dominate world political thought 2000 years later with nary a single legitimate contender for the title. In particular its rebirth in the late 1700s in the throes of the American and French revolutions is particularly relevant to today's world. The Federalist Papers are discussed in relation to the development of the American Constitution and its specific mode of 'democracy' (ie, representative). The review above mentions one of the author's principal lines of inquiry, the distinction between American-style 'egoism' (ie, individualistic capitalism) and Reign of Terror-style 'equality' (ie, redistribution of wealth).
I found this book exciting and it has inspired me to read more about both the American and French Revolutions, as well as democracy, the American Constitution, and different forms of government.
It's a short book; dense but readable especially the meat of the book after the introduction.Democracy: A History Overview
