Such skepticism began with Condorcet in eighteenth century, and continued most notably with Arrow and Riker in the twentieth century. In thispowerful books, Gery Mackie confronts and subdues these long-standing doubts about democratic governance. Problems of cycling, agenda control, strategic voting, and dimensional manipulation are not sufficiently harmful, frequent, or irremediable, he argues, to be of normative concern. 4aDemocracy  a09258/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a09258/MKRI-P/XI-2008
