Democracy
by Richard Swift

How democratic is democracy? This book takes the pulse of today's body politic and finds the patient in an enfeebled state. Author Richard Swift explores how democracy is constricted and deformed by economic power-brokers and a self-serving political class, from Birmingham to Bangalore. The rich diversity of forms of elected government are explored together with practical ideas for empowering today's voters around the world.

Well illustrated with diagrams and graphs.
