Can the Democracies Survive?

06/22/2013

Exercise: The following article was written nearly 30 years ago. Rather than influencing your own self-interpretation with mine or anyone else's, your assignment is to mentally update and/or clarify the content for accuracy as if it were written today. Feel free to share the results of your assessment. As there is no "concrete" right or wrong angle. Just an exercise in perception. However, knowledge of both past and current events could likely prove to be helpful in comparisons.

Can the Democracies Survive? 

An article written by Jean-François Revel — June 1984

Democracy may, after all, turn out to have been a historical accident, a brief parenthesis that is closing before our eyes.


The entire article is rather lengthy. It can be found HERE
