Books
Why do democracies keep lurching from success to failure? The current financial crises is just the latest example of how things continue to go wrong, just when it looked like they were going right. In this wide-ranging, original, and compelling book, David Runciman tells the story of modern democracy through the history of moments of crisism from the First World War to the economic crash of 2008.
