Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Second Step in Democracy: An Appeal to Common Sense in the Public Interest is a book written by William C. Foulds in 1920. The book focuses on the importance of common sense in the development of democracy. Foulds argues that democracy cannot be achieved without the active participation of the public, and that common sense is necessary for citizens to make informed decisions and hold their leaders accountable.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of democracy and the role of common sense in it. Foulds discusses the importance of education, the need for open and honest communication, and the dangers of corruption and special interests. He also explores the role of the media in shaping public opinion, and the need for citizens to be aware of their rights and responsibilities.Throughout the book, Foulds emphasizes the importance of individual action in promoting democracy. He argues that citizens must take an active role in shaping their government and holding their leaders accountable, and that common sense is essential for making informed decisions and avoiding the pitfalls of demagoguery and propaganda.Overall, The Second Step in Democracy is a timely and thought-provoking book that offers valuable insights into the challenges facing democracy in the 21st century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in politics, civic engagement, and the future of democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
