Abridged, with an Introduction by Patrick Renshaw. Democracy in
America is a classic of political philosophy. Hailed by John Stuart
Mill and Horace Greely as the finest book ever written on the
nature of democracy, it continues to be an influential text on both
sides of the Atlantic, above all in the emerging democracies of
Eastern Europe. De Tocqueville examines the structures,
institutions and operation of democracy, and shows how Europe can
learn from American success and failures. His central theme is the
advancement of the rule of the people, but he also predicts that
slavery will bring about the 'most horrible of civil wars',
foresees that the USA and Russia will be the Superpowers of the
twentieth century, and is 150 years ahead of his time in his views
on the position and importance of women.
