“A diverse group of Chicagoans gathered February 5, 1990 for a Roundtable discussion with Carl Gershman, president of the National Endowment for Democracy. The topic of discussion was the universal values underlying democracy that transcend social, religious, cultural, and economic differences—values which will inform and guide leaders of democratic movements in other countries and their supporters in this country. This is the first in a series of Roundtables involving thinkers on democratic issues” –

In this provocative book, Stein Ringen argues that the world's democracies are failing to live up to their ideals--the United States and Great Britain most especially. The core value of democracy, he contends, is freedom, the freedom to live a good life according to one's own choosing. Yet he shows that democracy's freedom is on the decline. Citizens are increasingly distrustful of political systems weighted by money, and they don't participate in political affairs as they once did. Ringen warns of the risks we face if this trend continues, and puts forth an ambitious proposal for democratic reforms. The issues that concern him are ones that should concern us all. They include education, poverty, the social and economic roles of families, the lack of democracy in our economic lives, and the need to rejuvenate municipal democracy. Along the way, Ringen proposes policy solutions aimed at restoring democracy, such as universal vouchers for education, substituting the principle of individual insurance for social-welfare pensions, and rethinking how we measure poverty in rich and poor countries. He calls for the revival of local democracy, a democratically grounded global economy, and the protection of political democracy from the transgressions of economic power. The way to protect democracy is not to cheer it, but to reform it. What Democracy Is For offers a bold defense of democratic ideals, grounded in real reforms.

Since 1991, Robert Barro has been a lively contributor to the Wall Street Journal and other popular financial media. Getting It Right brings together, updates, and expands upon these writings that showcase Barro's agility in applying economic understanding to a wide array of social issues. Barro, a "conservative who takes no prisoners," and a self-described libertarian, believes that most governments have gone much too far in their spending, taxation, and regulation. The dominant theme in these wide-ranging essays is the importance of institutions that ensure property rights and free markets. The discussion deals especially with the appropriate range of government: which areas represent useful public policy and which are unnecessary interference. The first section of the book considers these questions in the context of the determinants of long-run economic growth. In addition to basic economics, Barro assesses related political topics, such as the role of public institutions, the optimal size of countries, and the consequences of default on foreign debt. The second section deals with the proper role and form of monetary policy. Barro argues that government should provide markets with a stable nominal framework and then stay out of the way to best allow for price stability. Writings in the third section cover fiscal and other macroeconomic policies. Topics include the distorting influences of taxation, especially taxes on capital income; infrastructure investment and other government spending; and the consequences of public debt and budget deficits. In a final section, Barro looks at more micro issues such as cartels, tax amnesties, school choice, privatization, cigarette-smoking regulation, endangered species regulation, the market for baseball players, and term limits for politicians.

A bracingly provocative challenge to one of our most cherished ideas and institutions Most people believe democracy is a uniquely just form of government. They believe people have the right to an equal share of political power. And they believe that political participation is good for us—it empowers us, helps us get what we want, and tends to make us smarter, more virtuous, and more caring for one another. These are some of our most cherished ideas about democracy. But Jason Brennan says they are all wrong. In this trenchant book, Brennan argues that democracy should be judged by its results—and the results are not good enough. Just as defendants have a right to a fair trial, citizens have a right to competent government. But democracy is the rule of the ignorant and the irrational, and it all too often falls short. Furthermore, no one has a fundamental right to any share of political power, and exercising political power does most of us little good. On the contrary, a wide range of social science research shows that political participation and democratic deliberation actually tend to make people worse—more irrational, biased, and mean. Given this grim picture, Brennan argues that a new system of government—epistocracy, the rule of the knowledgeable—may be better than democracy, and that it's time to experiment and find out. A challenging critique of democracy and the first sustained defense of the rule of the knowledgeable, Against Democracy is essential reading for scholars and students of politics across the disciplines. Featuring a new preface that situates the book within the current political climate and discusses other alternatives beyond epistocracy, Against Democracy is a challenging critique of democracy and the first sustained defense of the rule of the knowledgeable.

There are hundreds of excellent books about democracy, written by well-educated, intelligent people from all corners of our political life. One, however, is missing and that is the one that focuses on how Americans are living in this democracy and why democracy has lost its meaning for many of us. We find ourselves deeply disappointed in our country and our culture. The goal of this book is to make visible the current disenchantment and disappointment of people. Millions upon millions of people have died in the name of democracy and its universal values. What happened? What changed? Why should we fight to keep it alive if democracy has lost its core and universal values? In our current state of affairs, we find it defined more and more by radical feminists, sexualists, radical racists, ultra-minority, super-conglos. The fact is, many of us no longer even recognize ourselves in our own country! This book explores concerns the Democrats, and the Progressive Liberals' ideologies and how the ideas which they have come to represent have weakened our dear democracy. What happened to the liberal and progressive ideas of universal education, for instance? Why has the general level of education of the American people gone down for the last thirty years, when it had, up until that time progressed since the beginning of the republic? Why are we getting poorer? Why all that pandering to trend-of-the-moment causes? We attempt to answer these basic questions: Who destroyed our values? Why have those values been destroyed? Who has benefited from these changes? This first short book of essays is the first in a series, and serves as an introduction to five future books, American People and Radical Feminism, American People and Sexualists, American People and Radical Racist Minorities, "American People and the Infosphere/Media and American People and Conglomeration.
