This provocative book asks, can you have too much of a good thing? <P>Today we judge the value of every idea, institution, and individual by one test: is it popular? Or, more practically, do the majority of those polled like it? This transformation has affected not just politics but also business, law, culture, and even religion. Every institution and profession in society must democratize or die. Democracy has gone from being a form of government to a way of life. <P>Like any broad transformation, however, the trends that democracy unleashes are not uniformly benign. Democracy has its dark sides, yet to question it has been to provoke instant criticism that you are "out of sync" with the times. No more. "Intensely provocative and valuable," according to <I>Business Week</I>, and with an easy command of history, philosophy, and current affairs, <I>The Future of Freedom</I> calls for a restoration of the balance between liberty and democracy and shows how liberal democracy has to be made effective and relevant for our time. Woodrow Wilson said the challenge of the twentieth century was to make the world safe for democracy. This penetrating book challenges us to make democracy safe for the world. 6436 2003 The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad total:521|5:166|4:224|3:103|2:20|1:8| 521 2083 808 84 2447 0393324877 9780393324877 445 70 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1161044882m/2447.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2447.The_Future_of_Freedom_Illiberal_Democracy_at_Home_and_Abroad 4 1 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Jan 07 20:19:44 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 20:25:47 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2447 0393324877 9780393324877 445 70 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1161044882m/2447.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2447.The_Future_of_Freedom_Illiberal_Democracy_at_Home_and_Abroad 4 0 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue May 12 16:50:53 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 16:56:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2447 0393324877 9780393324877 445 70 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1161044882m/2447.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2447.The_Future_of_Freedom_Illiberal_Democracy_at_Home_and_Abroad 4 0 false Sat Dec 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 12:41:21 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 12:47:34 -0800 2009 This is very interesting and an eyeopener.
