| Publisher Description: This antiquarian book contains the second volume of Alexis de Tocqueville's seminal book, 'Democracy in America'. Within this text, Tocqueville analyses the living standards and social conditions of individuals, and in particular their connection to the market and state in Western societies. 'Democracy in America' was published subsequent to Tocqueville's travels in the United States, and is considered an early work of sociology and political science. The chapters of this book include: 'How the Americans Combat Individualism by the Principle of Self-Interest Rightly Understood', 'That The Americans Apply The Principle of Self-Interest Rightly Understood to Religious Matters', 'Of the Taste for Physical Well-Being in America', etcetera. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author. |
