摘要

原则上，民主是人类最伟大的愿望之一。然而，在实践中，美国的民主制度与理想相去甚远。本文分析了民主理想与民主实践之间的错位。虽然组织上的必要条件造成了不可避免的后勤限制，但民主最严重的失败往往是由权力经纪人在权力分配问题上撒大谎造成的。

The Big Fib: Democratic Ideals in an Unprincipled World

In principle, democracy figures among the grandest of human aspirations. However, in practice, the democratic system in the United States has fallen far short of its ideals. This paper analyzes the dislocation between democratic ideals and practices. While organizational requisites impose unavoidable logistical limitations, democracy’s most acute failures tend to result from power brokers who tell big fibs about the distribution of power.
