Table of ContentsReviewsMiller is laser focused on confronting the problem that democratic societies fall well short of the longstanding ideals that have informed them. In developing the provocative idea of 'Post-Democracy' to orient us within this situation, Miller advances the study of democracy. -Jeffrey E. Green, University of Pennsylvania Unlike those who say 'Don't vote! It only encourages them,' Caleb Miller does not want us to abandon taking part in political activity, even though he believes it is largely illusory. Should we do this only to continue mourning the absence of effective democracy? Or will our actions from time to time ignite a spark of real possibilities? Miller's rich ambiguity makes us think for ourselves-the best success an author can have. -Colin Crouch, author of Post-Democracy and Post-Democracy after the Crises Miller is laser focused on confronting the problem that democratic societies fall well short of the longstanding ideals that have informed them.
