Post -democracy. 2nd edition. Crouch K.

In his sensational, in the Western intellectual and scientific environment, the professor of sociology of the University of the University (Great Britain), Colin Crouch, claims that the decline of public classes that made a possible mass policy, and the spread of global capitalism led to the emergence of a closed political class, more interested in creating Relations with influential business groups than in the conduct of political programs that meet the interests of ordinary citizens. He shows that in a number of relations, the politician of the beginning of the 21st century returns us to the politics of the XIX century, which was determined by the game played between the elites. Nevertheless, according to Krauch, the experience of the 20th century still remains significant and retains opportunities for the revival of politics.

The book is intended for political scientists, historians, philosophers and sociologists.
