""…Julia Maskivker’s dialogue is so vital. It introduces the leading criticisms of democracy and canvases the main lines of democracy’s defense. It provides the conceptual tools for thinking critically about democracy. More importantly, it does not seek to terminate the discussion. It leaves us with the sense that the critical questions are still worth exploring. Yet, at the end of the day, we are also brought to the realization that, indeed, debating democracy is part of democracy’s spirit."" - Robert B.
