Reassessing Democracy A Rebel’s Guide
Reassessing Democracy A Rebel’s Guide by Gregory Shafer, published by Universal-Publishers in 2004, offers a critical examination of the American democratic system. This 136-page work is presented in English and investigates the disconnect between the ideals of democracy and the realities faced by citizens. Shafer argues that the government has historically prioritized business interests over the needs and aspirations of the average American, challenging the widely held belief in the nation’s commitment to equality and responsiveness.
In this book, readers will find an exploration of the various ways democracy has been undermined, including corporate influence and cultural manipulation. Shafer addresses the violations of fundamental rights and the implications of a government that often favors affluence over the common good. Through this analysis, the work contributes to discussions in political science and history, particularly regarding the nature of democracy in the United States.
Official synopsis Publisher
Americans have long believed that they live in a democratic nation–where government is responsive to the people and where wealth and happiness are available to all. In fact, as this work explores, the American government has never sought equality and is often more loyal to business and affluence than to the aspirations of the average citizen. This book delves into the violations of democracy, uncovering the pandering to corporations, the cultural manipulations of people, the violations of fundamental rights.
