Recensione
'What is democracy good for? Even if it did no more than ensure the orderly and peaceful transfer of power from one government to another, that would be enough to make it attractive in comparison to the alternatives. But many people have hoped for more. They would like to think that there can (with the right institutions) be some reliable connection between democracy and other values such as freedom, social justice, or prosperity. The editors are to be congratulated on having assembled a first rate collection of sharply-argued essays that ask what we can realistically expect of democracy.' Brian Barry, Columbia University

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. [From the library of noted scholar William E. Connolly.] Softcover. Shelf wear. Small tear to head of spine. Clean, unmarked pages. "William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change." - Johns Hopkins University.
