Civic Republicanism and the Properties of Democracy: A Case Study of Post-socialist Political Theory

Portada
Lexington Books, 2006 - 325 páginas
Taking the revival of civic republicanism as his point of departure, Erik Olsen examines the relationship between property, civic virtue, and democracy in post-socialist political thought. Steering a course between the crass materialism that post-socialists criticize and their own post-materialist perspective, Olsen outlines a theory of democratic stakeholding in which citizens have rights of inhabitation in their commonwealth.
