Description: Direct Democracy or Representative Government? : Dispelling the Populist Myth, Paperback by Haskell, John, ISBN 0813397839, ISBN-13 9780813397832, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Haskell, a senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute, describes the dangers and uncovers the logical flaws of politics-by-plebiscite as practiced in California and other states, and makes the case that the populist impulse for direct democracy is as much a part of American political culture as the republican restraint embodied in the Constitution. He uses recent discoveries in social sciences to refute the populist position that direct democracy is the truest form of democracy, and claims that checks and balances and separated powers are all the more essential because of our populist tradition.
