"The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens."
The French aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville traveled to the United States in the 1830s to study its prison system but ended up writing a comprehensive analysis of American society and its democratic institutions. He examines the potential tensions between liberty and equality, the dangers of the 'tyranny of the majority', and the vital role of civil associations.
Tocqueville's work is widely considered the best book ever written about America and democracy. His insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the democratic spirit are astonishingly relevant today, offering a prophetic look at the future of the Western world.
Volume I of 2 — Volume One (1835): American institutions.
