padding: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">In this
timely and important work, eminent political theorist John
Dunn argues that democracy is not synonymous with good
government. The author explores the labyrinthine reality
behind the basic concept of democracy, demonstrating how
the political system that people in the West generally
view as straightforward and obvious is, in fact, deeply
unclear and, in many cases, dysfunctional. Consisting of
four thought-provoking lectures, Dunn’s book sketches the
path by which democracy became the only form of government
with moral legitimacy, analyzes the contradictions and
pitfalls of modern American democracy, and challenges the
academic world to take responsibility for giving the world
a more coherent understanding of this widely
misrepresented political institution. Suggesting that the
supposedly ideal marriage of liberal economics with
liberal democracy can neither ensure its continuance nor
even address the problems of contemporary life, this
courageous analysis attempts to show how we came to be so
gripped by democracy’s spell and why we must now learn to
break it.</p>
