Degenerations of Democracy Calhoun Craig
Three leading thinkers analyze the erosion of democracy's social foundations and call for a movement to reduce inequality, strengthen inclusive solidarity, empower citizens, and reclaim pursuit of the public good.Democracy is in trouble. More basic are social and economic transformations eroding the foundations of democracy, ruling elites trying to lock in their own privilege, and cultural perversions like making individualistic freedom the enemy of democracy's other crucial ideals of equality and solidarity. Populism is a common scapegoat but not the root cause.
Taylor documents creeping disempowerment of citizens, In Degenerations of Democracy three of our most prominent intellectuals investigate democracy gone awry, locate our points of fracture, and suggest paths to democratic renewal.In Charles Taylor's phrase, democracy is a process, not an end state.
