Publisher's Synopsis

Americans dread public power and yearn for communal democracy. This book chronicles the struggle to reconcile these conflicting forces. It traces the recurring attempts - peculiarly American - to empower the people directly or through their representatives and at the same time to limit bureaucracy.
