From the dust jacket flap notes: “ Today, Democracy is the world’s only broadly accepted political system, and yet it has become synonymous with disappointment and crisis. How did it come to this? In CAN DEMOCRACY WORK?, James Miller, author of the classic history of 1960s protest DEMOCRACY IS IN THE STREETS, offers a lively, surprising, and urgent history of the democratic idea, from its first stirrings to the present. Ranging from the theaters of Athens to the tents of Occupy Wall Street, CAN DEMOCRACY WORK? combines an authoritative history of ideas with colorful portraits of democracy’s champions and antagonists, from Pericles and Plato, to Rousseau and Robespierre, to Walt Whitman, Rosa Luxemburg, and Donald Trump. CAN DEMOCRACY WORK? is an entertaining and insightful guide to our most cherished - and vexed - ideal.” Book’s been stored in a smoke free home with three short haired pets.
