Thank you for Sean Wilentz' lecture re: the historical rise and evolution of democracy. It was powerful to be reminded of all these vastly differing views re: democracy and how difficult it is to trust the 'running of the republic' to just common people. It was so illuminating. I'm going to order his book. Often I've only been able to listen to Midday in the evening broadcast, but it is always so good. Thanks.
