Recovering lost ground.Democracy and its Elected Enemies reveals that American politicians have usurped their constitutional authority, substituting their economic and political sovereignty for the people's. This has been accomplished by creating an enormous public service sector operating in the material interest of politicians themselves and of their big business and big social advocacy confederates to the detriment of workers, the middle class and the non-political rich, jeopardizing the nation's security in the process. Steven Rosefielde and Daniel Quinn Mills contend that this usurpation is the source of America's economic decline and fading international power, and provide an action plan for restoring 'true' democracy in which politicians only provide the services people vote for within the civil and property rights protections set forth in the constitution.Democracy & its Elected EnemiesDemocracyUnited StatesUnited StatesPolitics and government21st centuryUnited StatesEconomic conditions21st centuryDemocracy320.97309/051Rosefielde Steven147100Mills Daniel QuinnUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910462903103321Democracy and its elected enemies2492446UNINA
