Garden City , NY: Anchor Books/Doubleday, 1969. First Edition, First Thus . Soft cover. New/None as Issued. BRAND NEW COPY w/a whisper of shelfwear to softcover. Classic work of prominent German-British sociologist, philosopher, political scientist, and politician Ralf Gustav Dahrendorf (1929 - 2009). An analysis of contemporary German in particular, and, democracy at large in general. It addresses what he calls The German Question: " Why is it that the pluralistic conception of liberty has never gained a hold in Germany?" Dahrendorf argues in Chapter 2, in the last analysis, liberal democracies can only exist when: "(1) equal citizen rights have been generalized; (2) conflicts are recognized and regulated rationally in all institutional orders; (3) elites reflect the color and diversity of social interests; and (4) public virtues are the predominant value orientation of the people." 457 pgs in 6 parts: I, The German Question; II, Equality or The Long Road to Modernity; III, Conflict or The Nostalgia for Synthesis; IV, Diversity or Elites Between Monopoly & Cartel; V, Publicness or The Misery of Petty Virtues; and VI, German Answers.
