«La mentira del pueblo soberano en la democracia» is the essay by Emilio Gentile, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
Modern democracy, according to Emilio Gentile, has turned popular sovereignty into a fiction: the people only intervene at the ballot box, while real power remains in the hands of oligarchies. Political corruption, demagogy, citizen apathy and manipulation of public opinion lead the author to ask whether these ills are contingent or congenital.
Translation by Carlo A. Caranci; original title: «In democrazia il popolo è sempre sovrano (Falso!)». Published in 2018. Collection: El libro de bolsillo - Ciencias sociales.
Essay aimed at readers of political philosophy and those who wish to critically examine the state of Western democracies.
