A must-read for all students of contemporary politics., Written by three world-class thinkers, the book provides a fresh and well-argued diagnosis of what must be done to save democracy from itself. No other book can offer something remotely similar to what this book has to offer in terms of historical detail, conceptual argument, moral outlook, and political acuity., [The authors] set out to dissect in detail the long-term degenerations of the democratic structures that have occurred in three major democratic countries: the United States, Canada and India...Stimulating and refreshing., Democracies around the world are in crisis. This important book by three social theorists...analyzes the underlying causes of these interrelated crises, focusing mostly on the United States, Europe, and India...At stake are the quality of public life, social institutions, and, in many cases, people's lives., Questions about what ails democracy today get a new lease on life in this captivating book. Calhoun, Gaonkar, and Taylor blend their voices well to produce a series of deep and insightful reflections remarkable for their combination of lucid prose, critical diagnoses, reasoned optimism, and perspectives that are strikingly fresh.

Synopsis
Three leading thinkers analyze the erosion of democracy's social foundations and call for a movement to reduce inequality, strengthen inclusive solidarity, empower citizens, and reclaim pursuit of the public good. Democracy is in trouble. Populism is a common scapegoat but not the root cause. More basic are social and economic transformations eroding the foundations of democracy, ruling elites trying to lock in their own privilege, and cultural perversions like making individualistic freedom the enemy of democracy's other crucial ideals of equality and solidarity. In Degenerations of Democracy three of our most prominent intellectuals investigate democracy gone awry, locate our points of fracture, and suggest paths to democratic renewal. In Charles Taylor's phrase, democracy is a process, not an end state. Taylor documents creeping disempowerment of citizens, failures of inclusion, and widespread efforts to suppress democratic participation, and he calls for renewing community. Craig Calhoun explores the impact of disruption, inequality, and transformation in democracy's social foundations. He reminds us that democracies depend on republican constitutions as well as popular will, and that solidarity and voice must be achieved at large scales as well as locally. Taylor and Calhoun together examine how ideals like meritocracy and authenticity have become problems for equality and solidarity, the need for stronger articulation of the idea of public good, and the challenges of thinking big without always thinking centralization. Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar points out that even well-designed institutions will not integrate everyone, and inequality and precarity make matters worse. He calls for democracies to be prepared for violence and disorder at their margins--and to treat them with justice, not oppression. The authors call for bold action building on projects like Black Lives Matter and the Green New Deal. Policy is not enough to save democracy; it will take movements., Craig Calhoun, Dilip Gaonkar, and Charles Taylor argue that democracies have embraced individual freedom at the expense of equality and solidarity, economic growth at the expense of democracy. Rebuilding local communities and large-scale institutions is now crucial, with attention to the public good beyond private advantage or ingroup loyalty.

    The seller shipped the item in a timely manner, however there was an error in the listing about the gauge of wire. Even with that the seller went out of their way to give a full refund despite not accepting returns and my already having opened the package before checking, without hesitation. You can't ask any more than that from a seller. Very good customer service. I appreciate the quick response and action!

    Package arrived as advertised with perfect packaging. The item was in excellent condition, true LEGO quality, looked exactly as described (even better in person), and feels like a great value for the price. I’m really pleased with both the quality and appearance of the item, as well as the contents inside. The seller double-wrapped everything. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

    This seller was great!!! Accepted my lower offer and shipped it quickly, with perfect packaging and a great condition! It was exactly how it looked and was perfect for what they priced it at! I am glad that there was not even a rip in the plastic wrap, and that it was as new as described. I would recommend this seller due to their good practices and such!
