Veil Politics in Liberal Democratic States

Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Public Policy

by Ajume H. Wingo

Ajume H. Wingo argues that non-rational factors--rhetoric, symbols, and traditions--provide the actual source of motivation in the development and sustainability of the liberal democratic state. Drawing from historical and philosophical sources, Wingo demonstrates that these "veils" can play an essential role in a thriving, stable liberal democratic state.

Searing depiction of the ulterior motives behind our own 'liberal' democracy. Deftly penned and hard to argue with.
