Analysis
An excellent examination of the origins of democracy and the philosophical influence. An excellent read!

è un testo di antropologia sociologica che tre spunto dal pensiero di illustri pensatori del passato
è un libro adatto a chi è interessato alla sociologia e non disdegna la filosofia da cui parte l'autore per la sua analisi. L'edizione è veramente gradevole, caratteri non troppo piccoli. Il nazismo, una delle tante forme di collettivismo autoritario, ha stimolato nel professor Popper, ebreo austriaco emigrato in Nuova Zelanda (come dire sulla luna negli anni '30 del '900), una riflessione profondissima e magistrale sulle forme di società e sulle loro caratteristiche. Più che un testo di sociologia, direi di antropologia.

Essential reading for Biden's presidency
What does the USA need to restore in order to maintain its democracy in the 21st century? Surely, the discussion in this book must be carried on by our current generation of leaders and citizens. Of course, nobody can be blamed for not finishing a book this big. Still, each chapter is worth reading on its own. And the Marxist academic types who have so much to contribute, are only going to grow wiser by reading Popper's critique of Leninism's cultural failures. And if you really want to bother the MAGA crowd, buy this book just because of George Soros' introduction. Democracy is assisted by occasionally reading from this book.
