Summary:

"When democracy turns, as it often does, into a corrupt plutocracy, both national decadence and social revolution are being prepared." So wrote the Irish-born historian W. E. H. Lecky (1838-1903) in this devastating assault on mass democracy. Please note: This title is available as an ebook for purchase on Amazon , Barnes and Noble , and iTunes .
