Democracy in America — Volume 2 by Alexis de Tocqueville
"Democracy in America — Volume 2" by Alexis de Tocqueville is a classic work published in 1840. Following his 1831 journey through the United States, Tocqueville examines the democratic revolution transforming Western society. He analyzes American culture through a critical lens, exploring how equality, social mobility, and democratic institutions shape religious, political, and economic life. While praising egalitarian progress, Tocqueville questions the moral and spiritual costs of restless democratic society. This influential
work has profoundly shaped Western political thought and social science. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
