Summary

"Assails the romantic folk-theory at the heart of contemporary thinking about democratic politics and government, and offers a provocative alternative view grounded in the actual human nature of democratic citizens.... Achen and Bartels argue that democratic theory needs to be founded on identity groups and political parties, not on the preferences of individual voters."--Jacket flaps
