"'Direct Democracy: and the Curse of the Boiled Frogs,' by Joseph Jenkins, so urgently needs to be an addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library Contemporary Political Science collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists in the hope that Jenkins' message can help turn the tide and restore American confidence in our democratic political systems, and avoid the fate of so many republics and democracies that have preceded us."
