Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of democracy, its nature, and its limits when applied to political, industrial, and social spheres. The author argues that pure democracyâ"where the spontaneous and identical wills of the average mass determine all political decisionsâ"is an impossible and even undesirable goal. By analyzing historical and contemporary examples, the book demonstrates that complex political questions require the formative influence of a few exceptional individuals with specialized knowledge. It further examines the role of oligarchies in society, arguing that they are necessary to mediate between the general will and complex issues. This book challenges the myth of pure democratic will, highlighting the practical need for specialist expertise and the limitations of average sentiment in complex decision-making. Its insights offer a nuanced perspective on democracy, emphasizing the importance of balancing popular will with the guidance of the few. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333465698_0
