Summary

"The Unfinished Programme of Democracy" by Richard Roberts is a book that examines the problems with democracy in the early 1900s. The author argues that even though governments are democratic, society and the economy are not fair enough for true democracy to work. Roberts believes it's important to fix these problems so that democracy doesn't fail. The book starts by explaining the troubles facing democracy at the time, pointing out that political systems are not always fair or based on good morals and economics. Roberts suggests that democracy is more than just politics and should also include equal wealth and a sense of right and wrong. He cautions that if big changes aren't made to spread democracy to all parts of life, society could go backwards into unfair systems where some people have more power than others.
