People's Rights: The Strength of Democracy

Diego Lopez Fernandez

$14.000

The linkage of rights with the political regime that governs our lives is notorious: all of them are intimately tied to how we conceive of public affairs and what we expect from life in common; what we can demand from authority and what we can expect from market exchanges.

The weaker the rights of the people, the more the regime of government will lean towards discretionary use of political power and will be more permissive of the exercise of economic power in social life and in the market, thus more easily subjugating the majority of people. Those same people will respond with indolence and growing detachment when authorities invoke their civic commitment; responsibility, and patience for institutions to do their work.
