Irony of Democracy - Schubert, Louis (City College of San Francisco) a Dye, Thomas (Florida State University, Emeritus) a Zeigler, Harmon

The question at the center of the seventeenth edition of The Irony Of Democracy is "How democratic is American society?" While most American government books address politics from a pluralist perspective, this book approaches the subject using an elitist perspective. It helps readers understand why the U S government works as it does.
