{"product_id":"understanding-democracy-albert-breton-9780521582360","title":"Understanding Democracy: Economic and Political Perspectives","description":"In this collection of essays, attention is given to basic issues about democracy that, in spite of their high practical relevance, tend to be taken for granted and not seriously addressed. What should be expected or not expected from democracy? What are the conditions for democracy to be stable? What is the relationship between democracy and economic growth, income distribution, social policies, and the efficiency of public administration? Although broad and potentially contentious, these questions are treated both professionally and thoughtfully and on the whole with little ideological bias.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Breton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521582369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521582360\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 08\/13\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Albert Breton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422207951103,"sku":"9780521582360","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6718e7c4-a2da-4624-aede-973be2b4b17e.jpg?v=1761527547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-democracy-albert-breton-9780521582360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
