Striking a balance between the right of corporations to earn a profit and the rights of the people they employ is a key struggle in any democracy. The challenges are many, from fair and equal pay to workplace safety, and from hiring discrimination to protection from unjust firing. This book explores these issues and the various solutions that have been found by the world's democracies. The benefits of democracy can be found in every part of the globe. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist ideology in 1991, democracy has been touted as the only real answer to the world's challenges. At the same time, the true meaning of democracy has rarely been so extensively tested. Foundations of Democracy takes a global view of the fundamental cornerstones of this form of government, which Winston Churchill famously called "the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried."
