Críticas:

"No better study of a nation's institutions and culture than Tocqueville's Democracy in America has ever been written by a foreign observer." -The New York Times "The Bradley edition of Tocqueville's classic is the best now available in English." -Charles A. Beard "Professor Bradley's edition should remain the standard one for our time." -F. O. Matthiessen With an Introduction by Alan Ryan

Reseña del editor:

In 1831 Tocqueville set out from post-revolutionary France on a journey across America that would take him 9 months and cover 7,000 miles. The result was DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA: a subtle and prescient analysis of the life and institutions of 19th-century America. Tocqueville's study of the strengths and weaknesses of an evolving democratic society has been quoted by every American president since Eisenhower. It remains a key point of reference for any discussion of the American nation or the democratic system.
