Summary: Well-written and Interesting
Comment: I read this book for my senior seminar class while studying abroad in Rome. I found it to be well-written and quite interesting. The essays cover a variety of topics, from history (e.g. the Levellers) to philosophy (e.g. a feminist critique of democracy). The book is easy to follow, while offering a good academic analysis of the different aspects of democracy throughout history.

Summary: A very interesting collection of essays on democracy
Comment: Why democracy? Could be one of the titles of the book. Why this political system with its inumerable variations is the dominant type of political organisation in the western world. Although representative democracy is not what the Athenians invented in antiquity, it is however as close to the original idea as it can be. All important topics are covered. "Ancient Greek political theory and democracy", "Greek democracy, philosophy and science", "The Italian City-Republics", "The levellers", ""Democracy and the American revolution", "Democracy and the French revolution" and more. In the preface of the book we read: "This is a book about the history and significance of an old but vigorous idea: that in human political communities it ought to be ordinary people (the adult citizens)and not the extra-ordinary people who rule....." Although we may not agree with these words the authors put once more the definite question on "Who should be the ruler and who should be the ruled?"
