Alexis de Tocqueville: The Ancien Régime and the French Revolution (Large Print Book)

In France, a month before the February revolution broke out in 1848, there was a hardy politician who predicted the fury of the revolution that would come, warning the people that if the ruling party did not reform themselves, the wrath of the people would soon explode. He predicted that the political inequality and the social unrest of the rich would eventually lead to another French revolution. He's Alexi de Tokville. According to Tokville, members of modern society have a double attitude toward equality. That is the ‘spoken and legitimate passion ’ that leads to the great and powerful, and the ‘degenerate taste for equality’ that moves the weak to bring the strong to their own level. Tokville looks at the trend of modern democratic societies in this regard, and unfortunately, the second property tends to become more habitative in people's minds than in their first attribute. Materialism and individualism, based on the 'Degenerate Taste for Equality,' are the things that bring public power to a low level by willing people to give freedom for comfort. As the nation tries to choose a leader who is in its own interests, politics becomes a base for sectarian understanding and politicians are inferior. It is Tokville's contention that when people are on the side of political indifference and everyone speaks for their voices and says, "Political dictatorship will emerge.". He seeks a cure for this corruption and its drawback from the restoration of ‘political freedom’.
