## Description

The question at the center of the sixteenth edition of THE IRONY OF DEMOCRACY is "How democratic is American society?" While most American government texts address politics from a pluralist perspective, this text approaches the subject by addressing the theme of elitism and contrasting it with democratic theory and modern pluralist theory. As a result, this text helps readers understand why the U.S. government works as it does.

Review: Good read. - Really good book for Poli Sci
Review: I give it three stars because I found the writing boring and tedious to read - This book is a required textbook for my political science course, so please read this review with that in mind. I found the perspective the author took on the way our government works interesting and unique, but a little dark. I give it three stars because I found the writing boring and tedious to read. I find the subject of political science interesting, but this book was very dry. If you have to read it, there are helpful summaries at the end of each chapter which I recommend looking at.
