Written nearly 170 years ago, "Democracy in America" is a masterful display of insight and foresight into all things American. Doubting whether the American experiment in equality could work, Tocqueville conjectured that democracy would erect a society that would succumb to a different type of tyranny than that of a monarchy or aristocracy - that of the majority. Through detailed interviews with "the most informed men" he could meet, he offers an examination of American institutions and the fabric of American life.
