The New Democracy
Roberts, Richard | February 28, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on a new stage in the development of the democratic ideal. The great historical rebels have invariably been men of wider social vision than their more respectable contemporaries; and the thing that became articulate in them was the craving of a class for its appointed share in the common human inheritance of larger light and fuller life. Albert Jay Nock has stated that there are important differences between the Anglo-American and the European conceptions of democracy, though the main difference is not quite so clear-cut as he suggests. French and American democratic ideas have undoubtedly been more egalitarian than those of Great Britain.
