Description
De Tocqueville's second volume shifts from America's democratic institutions to its social dynamics and spiritual contradictions, arguing that equality itself breeds new forms of conformity and anxiety. Written by a foreign observer unusually attuned to psychological consequence, this volume captures how revolutions reshape not just government but the texture of daily life and private aspiration.
