       index. 
505 0  Introduction: liberty, inequality and popular government -
       - Peoples, patricians, and the prince -- Democratic 
       republics and the oppressive appetite of young nobles -- 
       The benefits and limits of popular participation and 
       judgment -- Elections, lotteries and class-specific 
       institutions -- Political trials and 'the free way of 
       life' -- Republicanism and democracy -- Post-electoral 
       republics and the people's tribunate revived. 
520    "Highlighting previously neglected democratic strains in 
       Machiavelli's major writings, McCormick excavates 
       institutions through which the common people of ancient, 
       medieval, and Renaissance republics constrained the power 
       of wealthy citizens and public magistrates, and he 
       imagines how such institutions might be revived today"--

520    "Intensifying economic and political inequality poses a 
       dangerous threat to the liberty of democratic citizens. 
       Mounting evidence suggests that economic power, not 
       popular will, determines public policy, and that elections
       consistently fail to keep public officials accountable to 
       the people. John P. McCormick confronts this dire 
       situation through a dramatic reinterpretation of Niccol 
       Machiavelli, 's political thought. Highlighting previously
       neglected democratic strains in Machiavelli's major 
       writings, McCormick excavates institutions through which 
       the common people of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance 
       republics constrained the power of wealthy citizens and 
       public magistrates, and he imagines how such institutions 
       might be revived today. Machiavellian Democracy 
       fundamentally reassesses one of the central figures in the
       Western political canon and decisively intervenes into 
       current debates over institutional design and democratic 
       reform. Inspired by Machiavelli's thoughts on economic 
       class, political accountability and popular empowerment, 
       McCormick proposes a citizen body that excludes 
       socioeconomic and political elites and grants randomly 
       selected common people significant veto, legislative, and 
       censure authority within government and over public 
       officials"--|cProvided by publisher.
