New York, NY Esteemed Scholar and Author Publishes Political Criticism
Feb 2, 2022
The world economic crisis and the provocatively unjust distribution of wealth have exposed the real crisis, which is a political one. All the malfunctioning democracies that are gradually growing into oligarchic governments have become the main focus of many political experts.
"Are Democracies Dying?" or "How Democracies Die" are a couple of titles belonging to corresponding books on democracy. Because of them, global interest in ancient Greek democracy has been significantly reinvigorated, and even though a lot of publications refer to it, they do not propose any functional and substantial solutions that keep up with the present; as a result, direct democracy is being rejected, not only by the enemies of this political system, but also by well-meaning prominent figures and public officials, who consider it as being nothing but a utopia.
The book contains a remedy for our modern malfunctioning democracies, which suffer from a lack of democracy. Actually, the dying democracies, one by one, are removing their ''democratic masks'' and reveal their real identity, which is oligarchic in nature.
A Therapy for Dying Democracies is a unique proposal and shows how the operational difficulties of ancient Greek democracy can be bypassed, and presents for the first time worldwide an effective way that shows how true democratic governments can be established today.
