Voices of Democracy

"In Voices of Democracy Murchland probes the minds of several major political thinkers of our time in order to assess the present condition of democracy. His co-conversationalists include those who have lived behind the iron curtain, citizen activists, academics, public intellectuals, and thinkers who are worried about the impact of technology and globalization on democracy.". "Focusing on the problems and possibilities of democracy, this book examines the arguments against democracy, including the charge that it is under-going one of its periodic legitimacy crises, and the sources of its enduring appeal as a political regime. Lively and thought-provoking, Voices of Democracy confronts the very basis of our society in a way that stimulates a new appreciation of democracy and a genuine awareness of the need for reform in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
