From America's call for a free press to its embrace of the capitalist system, Democracy in America--first published in 1835--enlightens, entertains, and endures as a brilliant study of our national government and character. Philosopher John Stuart Mill called it "among the most remarkable productions of our time." Woodrow Wilson wrote that de Tocqueville's ability to illuminate the actual workings of American democracy was "possibly without rival."
For today's readers, de Tocqueville's concern about the effect of majority rule on the rights of individuals remains deeply meaningful. His shrewd observations about the "almost royal prerogatives" of the president and the need for virtue in elected officials are particularly prophetic. His profound insights into the great rewards and responsibilities of democratic government are words every American needs to read, contemplate, and remember.

【按语：在《论美国的民主》（1835,1840）中，Tocqueville（1805-1859）借考察美国的民主政制和道德民情，实际上一般地考察了身份平等(equality of conditions)下的政制安排、其本质缺陷及其补救措施。越是到下卷，美国色彩越淡化，而托克维尔将美国（顺遂而自由的民主国）、法...

胡乱塞了讨论tyranny of the majority和self-interest的章节。自利导向社会有效率的观念是从什么时候开始被普遍接受的？（霍布斯和洛克都不信）亚当斯密？

自由和民主是要建立在武力足够强大可以击退其他想践踏自由和民主的野蛮人的基础上的。可一旦武力过于强大失去管控就会不可避免的扩张蔓延，打着去‘解放’其他不够自由民主的地区人民，推翻他们政府的幌子，变成另一个侵略者。土地资源和自由民主一样没有什么‘自古以来便属于’哪个群体，而属于当下拳头最大的人。

第一部分还可以，通过实地调查有些判断有点价值，比如说美国的清教徒移民、地广人稀、没有外敌等因素促进了美国的民主制度设计，第二部分绝大部分在没什么根据的乱发议论

there is rarely a paragraph that goes by when I am not astonished by the cogency, eloquence, insight, and relevance of this book.
