True And False Democracy - Hardcover

by Nicholas Murray Butler (Author)

""True And False Democracy"" is a book written by Nicholas Murray Butler, an American philosopher and educator who served as the president of Columbia University. In this book, Butler explores the concept of democracy and its various forms, comparing and contrasting true democracy with what he calls false democracy. He argues that true democracy is characterized by a government that is accountable to its citizens, protects individual rights and freedoms, and promotes the common good. False democracy, on the other hand, is characterized by a government that is controlled by special interests, fails to protect individual rights, and promotes the interests of a privileged few. Butler examines the historical development of democracy and its evolution in different countries, including the United States, Europe, and Latin America. He also discusses the challenges and threats to democracy, such as corruption, populism, and authoritarianism. Overall, ""True And False Democracy"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the meaning of democracy and its significance for modern societies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
