Praise for the first edition:
"Presenting key texts from Plato through Rousseau's "Social Contract" and Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" to modern contributions by Benjamin Barber and Milton Friedman, this is arguably the most comprehensive reader on the subject available in English."--"Political Studies
""A handy preliminary sweep through the most salient issues and arguments, and will undoubtedly prove useful to new students of democratic theory."--"Australian Journal of Political Science"
