It is often even considered conducive to (if not simply identical to) fascism. In Democratic Theory Naturalized: The Foundations of Distilled Populism, Walter Horn uses his theory of \"CHOICE Voluntarism” to offer solutions to some of the most perplexing problems in democratic theory and distill populism to its core premise: giving people the power to govern themselves without the constraints imposed by those on the left or the right. Beginning with explanations of what it means to vote and what makes one society better off than another, Horn analyzes what makes for fair aggregation and appropriate, deliberative representation. Through his examination of the American government, Horn suggests solutions to contemporary problems such as gerrymandering, immigration control, and campaign finance, and offers answers to age-old questions like why dissenters should obey the majority and who should have the right to vote in various elections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Axioms, Paradoxes, and Alleged Deficits of Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Individual Values Naturalized I: Objective Voluntarism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Individual Values Naturalized II: The More Good, the Better\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Equal People or Equal Votes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Who May Vote I: Interest or Inhabitancy?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Who May Vote II: Residence, Age Criminality, and Competence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Votes and Their Aggregation I: Majority Rule and Majoritarianism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Votes and Their Aggregation II: Minority Representation and How it Must be Combined with Majority Rule\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: Political Representation I: Direct Participation, Delegation, or Controlled Trusteeship?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Ten: Political Representation II: Deliberation, Camerality, Term Limits and Judicial Review of Legislative Procedures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eleven: A Stouter, but More Minimalistic Constitution: Other Teachings of Naturalized Democratic Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Twelve: Last Words on Distilled Populism: Objections and Responses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042650980695,"sku":"9781793624956","price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793624956.jpg?v=1750955016","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/democratic-theory-naturalized-the-foundations-of-distilled-populism-9781793624956","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
