Democracy Past and Future by Pierre Rosanvallon
A collection of essays on the historical origins, contemporary difficulties, and future prospects of democratic life. It examines the pathologies that have curtailed democracy's potential and challenges the antitotalitarian liberalism that has dominated recent political thought.
A long overdue introduction to a figure who defies both sound bites and the familiar academic division of laborInside Higher Ed. This is an excellent book for both specialists in political theory and political activists... Highly recommended. Choice
