{"product_id":"democracy-and-redistribution-carles-boix-9780521825603","title":"Democracy and Redistribution","description":"Employing analytical tools borrowed from game theory, Carles Boix offers a complete theory of political transitions. It is one in which political regimes ultimately depend on the nature of economic assets, their distribution among individuals, and the balance of power among different social groups. Backed by detailed historical research and extensive statistical analysis from the mid-nineteenth century, the study reveals why democracy emerged in classical Athens. It also covers the early triumph of democracy in nineteenth-century agrarian Norway, Switzerland and northeastern America as well as its failure in countries with a powerful landowning class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carles Boix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521825601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521825603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 926","brand":"Carles Boix","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437903851775,"sku":"9780521825603","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ded9146a-f9cc-429f-b6e4-3d9ff8d57f17.jpg?v=1777167562","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracy-and-redistribution-carles-boix-9780521825603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
