Soft Despotism, Democracy's Drift by Paul Anthony Rahe

Soft Despotism, Democracy's Drift by Paul Anthony Rahe

Presents an investigation into the thinking of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville. This book argues that these political thinkers anticipated the modern liberal republic's propensity to drift in the direction of soft despotism, a condition that arises within a democracy when paternalistic state power undermines the spirit of self-government.
