Explanation:

Democracy is now accepted as the political system that nations should aspire to, since it seeks to decentralise power and strengthen the rights of individual citizens. Yet, even in countries where democracy has existed for more than a century, we find that all citizens have not been empowered equally. To understand why this has been the case, we need to think about the forms in which power can be held within a democracy. The primary paradox lies in the fact that democracy as a political system is expected to function alongside capitalism, the inherent logic of which is to accumulate wealth (and thereby power). The aspirations of both these systems are therefore antithetical. Evidently then, institutions and procedures, by themselves are not adequate to make a country a democracy.

In this reading list, we explore why it is not feasible for democracy to work within the framework of capitalism.
