New York, New York: George Braziller, 1974. Revised Edition. Original Wraps. Near Fine. Small quarto, 10 " tall, 158 pages black stiff wraps; with b&w photographs. A very good+, clean, neat soft cover with light shelf wear; binding tight, paper white., George Braziller, 1974, 4, US: Yale University Press, 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A clean hardcover, no markings throughout, NOT an ex-library book: The past few decades have brought a shift in the nature of American democra cy-an alarming shift that threatens such liberal democratic values as respe ct for pluralism, acceptance of the separation of powers, and recognition o f the rights of opposition parties. In this insightful book, political scie ntist Alan Wolfe identifies the current political conditions that endanger the quality of our democracy. He describes how politics has changed, and he calls for a democracy protection movement designed to preserve our politic al traditions not unlike the environmental protection movement's efforts to safeguard the natural world. Voters who know little about issues, leaders who bend rules with little fear of reprisal, and political parties that are losing the ability to mobilize citizens have all contributed to a worrisome new politics of democracy, Wolfe argues. He offers a brilliant analysis of how religion and morality have replaced political and economic self-interest as guiding principles, and how a dangerous populism promotes a radical form of elitism. Without laying blame on one party or ideology and without claiming that matters will improve with one party or the other in office, Wolfe instead suggests that Americans need to understand the danger their own indifference poses and take political matters more seriously., Yale University Press, 2006, 4<
