Democracy's Discontent America in Search of a Public Philosophy

'Democracy's Discontent' is well worth reading as we near yet another presidential election in which soundbites and poll-generated slogans substitute for reasoned debate about the nation's future."Sandel, Michael J. is the author of 'Democracy's Discontent America in Search of a Public Philosophy', published 1998 under ISBN 9780674197459 and ISBN 0674197453.
