Product Description
Democracy is a system of government that favours rule by the many rather than the few. However, a look back at history shows us that democracy is actually a fairly rare form of government, only truly flowering in the past two centuries. How does democracy work? Does it always succeed? Has over-democratisation in some instances led to weak government? These questions, and many more, are answered in this fascinating account of perhaps the most progressive system of government the world has known.
