«La democracia en América» is the political essay by Alexis de Tocqueville, published by Ediciones Orbis, S.A. in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
In this work, Alexis de Tocqueville, after traveling through the United States in the nineteenth century, examines how democracy works in practice: equality and liberty, the role of the press, social life and tensions between races, with a perspective that anticipates risks such as consumerism and corruption.
It belongs to the Biblioteca de Política, Economía y Sociología collection (no. 4); 1985 edition. Selection, introduction and notes by J. P. Mayer; translation by Marcelo Arroita-Jáuregui.
For readers of political philosophy, sociology and history interested in modern democracy and the classic analysis of American society.
Alexis Charles Henri Clérel, comte de Tocqueville, was a French diplomat, political philosopher and historian. He is best known for his works Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both, he analyzed the living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.
