* Comprehensive and original re-examination of democratic thought and the subject of direct democracy - the direct involvement of citizens in politics.
* Unlike most previous discussions on the subject, author argues that direct democracy is now feasible for a mass society in light of new developments in communication.
* Provides compelling evidence for the existence of direct democracies in half of the US states, Switzerland and Italy and, accordingly argues that direct democracy is both desirable and feasible.
