Classical theory of Democracy and its fatal consequences

"unscientific application of social sciences can be fatal to a society" This is continuation of my analysis on Democracy ( 1 , 2 ). At this point, i strongly advice you to read Schumpeter's book - 'Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy' - to understand the material of my analysis. The early section of Schumpeter's book is advanced philosophy on political economy. Reader may skip it and read the standalone section on Democracy although it's recommended to read the book in its entirety to understand the full concept of Democracy.  In last few years, intellectual curiosity drove me to research on economics and political economy. I discovered that neoclassical economic theory and Neoliberalism is a destructive doctrine. The tenets of neoclassical theory - Unfettered markets & laissez faire, arbitrariness & instrumentalism (like arbitrary debt & deficit limits), rational choice theory & rational expectations, confidence fairy, crowding out theory...

Trump's economic aggression against the world and shock therapy in America

Why Trump happens? Part 1

In last several years, i have read many explanations and analysis of Trump phenomenon. Why Trump happens? There are various aspects of this question; Why people elect him? Why there's no institutional checks and balances to block such a dangerous person to reach the highest office? How such an unstable, unfit, unqualified and a high criminal reaches to top position of power? Numerous books & analysis have been written by various experts in trying to give a narrative to the 'Trump phenomenon' or 'MAGA phenomenon'. Authors have contributed to broader understanding of Trump and MAGA in several ways but all authors have left out important things. This is because of two reasons, first is that authors themselves being not fully informed of all the diverse factors behind Trump phenomenon. The second reason is that some these authors know more about Trump phenomenon than they can present or than they want to present. That is, these authors have presented their analysis ...
