From Jefferson to Eisenhower, presidents from both parties have warned us of the danger of letting a closed, narrow group of business and government officials concentrate power over our lives. Yet today, a small and unrepresentative group of people is making vital decisions for all of us." "But this crisis is only a symptom, Frances Moore Lappe argues. It's a symptom of thin democracy, something done to us or for us, not by or with us. Such democracy is always at risk of being stolen by private interests or extremist groups, left and right." 001408887 5208_ $$a"But there is a solution. The answer, says Lappe is Living Democracy, a powerful yet often invisible citizens' revolution surging in communities across America. It's not random, disjointed activism but the emergence of a new historical stage of democracy in which Americans realize that democracy isn't something we have but something we do. Either we live it or lose it, says Lappe."--Jacket. 001408887 648_7 $$aSince 1989$$2fast 001408887 650_0 $$aDemocracy$$zUnited States. 001408887 650_0 $$aPolitical participation$$zUnited States. 001408887 650_6 $$aParticipation politique$$0(CaQQLa)201-0007797$$zÉtats-Unis.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0407727 001408887 650_7 $$aDemocracy.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00890077 001408887 650_7 $$aPolitical participation.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01069386 001408887 650_7 $$aPolitics and government$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919741 001408887 650_7 $$aDemokratie$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4011413-2 001408887 650_7 $$aPolitische Beteiligung$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4076215-4 001408887 65017 $$aDemocratie.$$2gtt 001408887 65017 $$aPolitieke participatie.$$2gtt 001408887 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1989- 001408887 651_6 $$aÉtats-Unis$$xPolitique et gouvernement$$y1989-$$0(CaQQLa)201-0248445 001408887 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001408887 651_7 $$aUSA.$$2swd 001408887 852__ $$bgen$$hJK1726$$i.L36 2006 001408887 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1408887$$pGLOBAL_SET 001408887 980__ $$aBOOK 001408887 980__ $$aBIB
