Can the citizens of a democracy be trusted to run it properly? Modern political science has concentrated on cataloguing voters' failings-their lack of knowledge, tolerance, or consistency in political thinking. While it would be a mistake to think this portrait of citizens is simply wrong, it is a deeper mistake to accept it as a satisfactory likeness. In this book, Paul Sniderman demonstrates that a concentration on the pathologies of citizens' political thinking has obscured the intense clash of opposing belief systems in the electorate.

And he exposes the fallacy of spotlighting the dangers of mass politics while ignoring those of elite politics.
