| Publisher Description: This text contains the first volume of Democracy in America, a classic French text by Alexis de Tocqueville that describes the societal changes that he believed had been transpiring over the previous seven hundred years towards a more democratic system. This text outlines his ideas about how the socio-economic conditions of men were becoming more egalitarian, the origins and causes of which he believed to be intrinsic in factors such as the ability of all men to enter the clergy and increasing opportunities in trade and commerce. An engaging and comprehensive analysis pertaining to the evolution of democracy, this two-part classic is a necessary addition to every socio-economic compendium. Alexis de Tocqueville was a French political thinker and historian best known for Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). He was active in French politics and retired from his political career after Louis Napol on Bonaparte's 1851 coup. This edition has been republished with a new introductory biography of the author. |
