American Democracy Versus Prussian Marxism: A Study In The Nature And Results Of Purposive Or Beneficial Government is a book written by Clarence Frank Birdseye and published in 1920. The book is a critical analysis of the differences between American democracy and Prussian Marxism, with a focus on the nature and results of purposive or beneficial government. Birdseye argues that American democracy is based on individual freedom and the pursuit of happiness, whereas Prussian Marxism is based on the idea of a collective good that is enforced by a powerful government. He examines the historical and philosophical roots of these two systems of government and argues that American democracy has been more successful in promoting individual rights and economic prosperity. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of American democracy and Prussian Marxism. The second part examines the practical applications of these two systems of government in terms of economic prosperity, individual freedom, and social welfare. The third part offers a comparative analysis of the two systems and argues that American democracy is superior to Prussian Marxism in terms of promoting individual freedom, economic growth, and social welfare. Overall, American Democracy Versus Prussian Marxism is a thought-provoking analysis of two competing systems of government and their respective strengths and weaknesses. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in political philosophy, comparative government, or the history of American democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
