520    There is no shortage of democracy, at least in name, and 
       yet it is in crisis everywhere we look. From a cabal of 
       plutocrats in the White House to gerrymandering and dark-
       money campaign contributions, it is clear that the 
       principle of government by and for the people is not 
       living up to its promise. The problems lie deeper than any
       one election cycle. As Astra Taylor demonstrates, real 
       democracy-fully inclusive and completely egalitarian-has 
       in fact never existed. In a tone that is both 
       philosophical and anecdotal, weaving together history, 
       theory, the stories of individuals, and interviews with 
       such leading thinkers as Cornel West and Wendy Brown, 
       Taylor invites us to reexamine the term. Is democracy a 
       means or an end, a process or a set of desired outcomes? 
       What if those outcomes, whatever they may be-peace, 
       prosperity, equality, liberty, an engaged citizenry-can be
       achieved by non-democratic means? In what areas of life 
       should democratic principles apply? If democracy means 
       rule by the people, what does it mean to rule and who 
       counts as the people? Democracy's inherent paradoxes often
       go unnamed and unrecognized. Exploring such questions, 
       Democracy May Not Exist offers a better understanding of 
       what is possible, what we want, why democracy is so hard 
       to realize, and why it is worth striving for.
