This book addresses democracy as: “a commitment to individual freedom and egalitarian self-government in every area of social, economic, and cultural life.” The text confronts the conservative backlash that has slowly eroded democratic ideals and advances of the 1960s as well as the internal debates that have frequently splintered the left.
Keywords: democracy, individual freedom, self-government, social life, cultural life, economic life, democratic ideals
