Halkın Özgürlüğü

At the beginning of the twentieth century, world capitalism declared its hegemony and victory by being democratic. However, the past years have shown that liberal representative democracy produces more inequality, injustice, environmental destruction, discrimination and crisis. Today, democracy is still seen as the only absolute truth in these uncertain and unpredictable conditions. However, on the other hand, the concrete conditions of the same democracy are at the center of difficult discussions.

It is sometimes stated that it is a deception covering up an aristocratic, egoistic and destructive system, and that it sometimes corrupts with populist leaders and discourses and feeds authoritarianism and uncontrolled governments. Although democracy has made people's feelings, thoughts and demands the basic component of politics, today the trust and harmony that would ensure the healthy functioning of democracy have disappeared.

This work is a book that questions the position of democracy in modern society in the finest details, and while doing this, conveys the story of democracy going back thousands of years to the reader in a masterful style. The story of democracy, which emerged in the Athenian society, remained hidden in the dark corners of history for many years with Rome, and then progressed unstoppably with the American War of Independence and the French Revolution, becoming the most legitimate form of government. It is an important reference work for all readers who ponder and try to understand why tyrants, despots and dictators constantly appear before us.
