Democracy: A Very Short Introduction by Bernard Crick

2.0

good intro if u want the most neo-liberal ass review of what democracy is and was. the man argues against the boring "civics" style engagement with democracy and politics more generally, but then proceeds to give an incredibly abstracted and reductive view of democracy which bored me all to hell. And that ON TOP of erasing countless democratic societies and movements from across the globe. The man quotes fucking Hayek and then never quotes Malcolm X or Che. Ridiculous, Imo.
