Democracy in America by Alexis de Toqueville


Sometimes it takes an outsider to clearly describe a situation. In 1831 Alexis de Toqueville visited America from France expressly to see how this democratic nation works. He then wrote this book, one of the most highly quoted books about America ever written. Read it to see why it still stands as a definitive text on the subject of our country.

Why does de Toqueville predict America is to become a great nation?
