Zustand: good, good. First Edition. 230, index, pencil erasure on half-title, corners of some pages creased, some ink markings to text. "Harper's Magazine" editor Lewis Lapham gives us an acerbic commentary on the future for democracy. An award-winning writer, Lapham sees America's citizenry as complacently taking for granted what has taken 200 years to build. He presents the portrait of a feckless American establishement gone large in the stomach and soft in the head.
