About this audiobook
Tracing the rise of the people's rule—how did democracy develop from ancient times to its modern form? This book examines the origins of democratic thought and governance, beginning with ancient Athens, where the concept of democracy first emerged as a revolutionary idea allowing citizens to participate directly in decision-making. It explores the philosophical foundations laid by thinkers like Plato and Aristotle, the evolution of democratic systems through the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and the challenges and adaptations of democracy in the modern era. The narrative discusses the spread of democratic ideals, the influence of revolutions, and the development of democratic institutions. By analyzing different models of democracy, including both successes and failures, the book provides a comprehensive overview of how democracy has shaped global political systems and continues to evolve in response to economic, social, and technological changes.
