Can Democracy Be Dangerous?
Video 3 in the Freedom Academy's "Western Story" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
In this video:
The Greeks invented democracy, but they never perfected the formula.
Unrestrained democracy leads to mob rule, so the Romans instituted a
republic with checks and balances. But placing too many checks on
democracy leads to oligarchy and tyranny. Modern-day Americans want
equality and liberty, but can we have both in equal measure? We're still
tinkering with the formula, trying to get it right.
