Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a trenchant critique of modern democratic society and its supposed decline. The author, a scholar with a classical education, argues that the world has been in a state of decline since around 1905, when the last of the great leaders died. According to the author, the hallmarks of a great leader include vision, force of personality, and the ability to lead where others will follow. Since the death of the last great leaders over a century ago, the author suggests, these qualities have vanished from the world, resulting in a decline in civilization and a loss of direction for society. Evaluating the author's judgments as either fair or accurate is left as an exercise for the reader. The central question driving this analysis is whether modern democratic societies can continue to function without great leaders, or whether they are doomed to decline and fall. Regardless of one's view on the matter, the author raises a number of important questions about the nature of leadership, the challenges facing modern democracy, and the future of civilization.
