Pharmaceutical Calculation Stoklosa

I started reading this book, made during a queue at the counter of the Inland Revenue. First impressions.

What we do is we feeling common and widespread. The author, who is not really a foo on the subject, spoke of political "amateur" made by a competent amateur as a necessity for the survival of democratic systems.

What we think is common sense and widespread. The author, in fact, he sees individualism, and then the idea that happiness is achieved individually and that any mediation with fellow citizens is basically a nuisance, encroachment (individualism largely pumped from an economy based on consumption) is the cultural background on which to take root, the disaffection for politics, that is, essentially, mediation between conflicting interests led to the best interests of society (at least it should ...). Among other things the author makes an interesting observation. Because of its nature-based mediation, democracy is bound to disappoint.

Third thought: whatever they want to say, democracy is the only system in which any citizen can have a say in the management of the municipality. And is the only system in which no one can be coercive by force or violence to set your personal life according to a recipe (of course, if your personal life style provides for the abolition of the next, things change ...). These are the true values. Among other recent achievements are. It will be a century that democracy will emerge as the dominant system, not more. Yet today the people, oblivious of the other systems, external dissatisfaction, disenchantment and cynicism, even nostalgia for the past. This is undoubtedly due, in part, the behavior is not convincing representatives of institutions of political power. But also, in my opinion, the fact that democracy requires a commitment by all (not required, for example, on systems set to "I think ghe") that whoever the belly which has the full, always wants to give. As long as it is to make certain achievements, the sacrifices you make. But once achieved certain goals we tend to forget the effort made to get there and you despise. And 'human.

Therefore, our intention makes even more sense: democracy requires people who have loved ones and it expresses the values that are willing to field their availability "amateur" to protect it and improve it. Francesco
