Аннотация
Notes on Democracy is a critique of democracy. The book places political leaders into two categories: the demagogue, who «preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots» and the demaslave, «who listens to what these idiots have to say and then pretends that he believes it himself.» Mencken depicts politicians as «men who have sold their honor for their jobs.»
