The reader is encouraged to confront the myth and deception which pervade the contemporary conception of democracy, and to accept the reality that the democratic emperor is naked.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDemocracy today is in truth fundamentally absurd: its premise is that an ideologically coherent, consistent, and efficient social policy program can be constructed by formulating each aspect of the overall program through a process of majoritarian amalgamation of contradictory, incongruent, and confrontational views.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Myth of American Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e is an important rebuke of conventional democratic orthodoxy which will challenge readers to reevaluate their sympathies for the system. This book is recommended reading for everyone who has wrestled with the troubling suspicion that there is something inherently dubious and defective about the democratic system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trenton Fervor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475981007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475981001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Trenton Fervor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065857470719,"sku":"9781475981001","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_17a14c3c-bf90-472c-af8d-5a5eaa73ceb9.jpg?v=1685403903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-myth-of-american-democracy-trenton-fervor-9781475981001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
