È stato detto che la democrazia sia la peggior forma di governo, ad eccezione di tutte le altre fin qui sperimentate. Ma se la concezione relativistica dei regimi democratici come “male minore” appare in molte analisi e teorie moderne, da Machiavelli a Sartori, passando per Weber e Schumpeter,...

For and Against
Language: English
