The Crowd

Meer over het boek

Exploring the contrasting meanings of key political concepts, this work delves into how words like "democracy" and "socialism" can evoke vastly different ideas across cultures. The author highlights that for Latin peoples, democracy emphasizes the community's will through a strong State, while Anglo-Saxons view it as a celebration of individual initiative, limiting State power. This examination reveals the complexities of political language and the cultural contexts that shape our understanding of governance and societal organization.
