[Bookshark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book, if you're willing to accept the terms of the debate between liberals and republicans. I fundamentally disagree with some of their assumptions, so it was only meh for me, but if you're into mainstream contemporary analytic democratic theory, I predict you'll like it.
