Democracy in America (Hackett Classics)

• Used Book in Good Condition

<DIV><P>This new abridged translation of <I>Democracy in America</I> reflects the rich Tocqueville scholarship of the past forty years, and restores chapters central to Tocqueville's analysis absent from previous abridgments―including his discussions of enlightened self-interest and the public's influence on ethical standards. Judicious notes and a thoughtful Introduction offer aids to the understanding of a masterpiece of nineteenth-century social thought that continues in our own day to illuminate debates about the roles of liberty and equality in American life.</P></DIV>
