Democracy in America — Volume 1 by Alexis de Tocqueville
"Democracy in America — Volume 1" by Alexis de Tocqueville is a classic French work published in 1835. After visiting America in 1831 to study prisons, Tocqueville turned his observations into an examination of democracy and equality in early nineteenth-century American society. He analyzes how religion, politics, and economics shaped the nation's egalitarian culture, while questioning the costs of social mobility and restlessness. The work explores democracy as both an American example
and a broader revolutionary force transforming the Western world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
