Looking for a #summerread ? Might I suggest Toqueville and his take on #American #Democracy
"John Stuart Mill, the greatest British liberal of the era, raved about “Democracy in America”. He called it “the first philosophical book ever written on democracy”. But he thought Tocqueville too pessimistic on some points. Mill imagined that in a democracy, the wisest men would lead society. Tocqueville thought that democracy did not work like that. People like Jackson would lead, because in a democracy popular opinion is sovereign, and because democracies tended towards mediocrity in government. The most talented people would be too occupied with commerce to concern themselves with politics. As for the idea that public opinion would be formed by brilliant writers and thinkers, the inverse was more likely. America’s equivalent of Mill would follow public opinion, not lead it."

Fast-paced, easy, oozing racial slurs, sexism, and violence, but with plenty of funny moments.
Not high literature, but ideal for a poolside (or long flight) read.Il primo giorno della tartaruga, Sirio Lubreto
6/10
