Democracy a Work in Progress - An Irreverent Exercise in Political Thought

In this personal, and sometimes challenging, work the author argues that an idealised form of political government has been the goal of mankind since Plato himself. But political thinking has always been a theoretical exercise detached from reality. Little consideration was given to the fact that it is flawed humans who must implement these ideas.
