Breaking Democracy's Spell (The Henry L. Stimson Lectures Series)

Breaking Democracy's Spell is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about democracy.

Written by eminent political theorist John Dunn, this book explores the labyrinthine reality behind the basic concept of democracy and analyzes the contradictions and pitfalls of modern American democracy.

With a focus on the supposed marriage of liberal economics with liberal democracy, Dunn argues that this idealized union cannot ensure continuance or address contemporary life's problems.

Through four lectures, Dunn offers a courageous analysis of how we came to be so gripped by democracy's spell and why we must now learn to break it.

This book is an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of democracy and its limitations.
