The Liberty Fund second edition of James T. Schleifer’s celebrated study of Tocqueville includes a new preface by the author and an epilogue, “The Problem of the Two Democracies.” For the first time, the evolution of a number of Tocqueville’s central themes―democracy, individualism, centralization, despotism―emerges into clear relief. A masterful job that will long stand as an essential guide for every student of Tocqueville. -- Edmund S. Morgan Used Book in Good Condition
