For too long a conventional wisdom has held sway, suggesting that
poor people in poor countries are not supportive of democracy and
that democracies will be sustained only after a certain average
level of wealth has been achieved. Evidence from 24 diverse
countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America examined in this volume
shows how poor people do not value democracy any less than their
richer counterparts. Their faith in democracy is as high as that of
other citizens, and they participate in democratic activities as
much as their richer counterparts. Democracy is not likely to be
unstable or unwelcome simply because poverty is widespread.
Political attitudes and participation levels are unaffected by
relative wealth. Education, rather than income or wealth, makes for
more committed and engaged democratic citizens. Investments in
education will make a critical difference for stabilizing and
strengthening democracy.
