A must read for students young & old

This little book is a must read for everyone! It is timeless and apt for every time period and issue that has ever occurred in the history of democracy. It is a fairly quick read but there are many nuggets that you'll want to chew on and discuss with others for awhile. This election season is the perfect time to pick up this book. I can't recommend it enough.
