Description
"The renowned satirist and author of The American Language presents a scathing critique of democracy, demagogues, and politicians of all kinds. H. L. Mencken was one of the greatest contrarian minds of the twentieth century. As a columnist for the Baltimore Sun , he was an outspoken skeptic of America's most cherished institutions -- namely, organized religion and representative democracy. In Notes on Democracy , Mencken presents an incisive critique of how democratic ideals are doomed to fall short in practice. From disproportional representation to rampant political corruption, Mencken's assessments -- first published in 1926 -- are surprisingly applicable today."--,Provided by Freading.
