Democracy for the few

This book tries to explain how democracy is incongruous with modern-day capitalism and is consistently violated by a capitalist social order, and yet how democracy refuses to die and continues to fight back and even make gains despite the great odds against popular forces. It offers an interpretation that students are not likely to get in schools or colleges, nor in the mass media or mainstream political literature. In addition, the book devotes attention to the FOUNDATIONS AND HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT of American politics.
