The Irony Of Democracy: An Uncommon Introduction To American Politics Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The question at the center of the seventeenth edition of THE IRONY OF DEMOCRACY is "How democratic is American society?" While most American government books address politics from a pluralist perspective (the theory that many groups of people share power in the United States), this book approaches the subject using an elitist perspective (the theory that only a tiny number of people make the decisions that shape our lives). By exposing the irony between elitism and democratic theory and modern pluralism, this eye-opening book helps readers understand why the U.S. government works as it does.

It's a great book and I'm learning so much about Politics and the crazy world it creates! I'm lucky that my professor is one of the authors and the lectures go along with the book !
