The book argues that the tensions between calls for equality and the simultaneous tolerance of inequality, have accompanied the rise of modern mass society, and, with it, of liberal democracy. Vormann and Lammert emphasize that government has played and continues to play a decisive role in calibrating the relationship between the interior and the exterior of the nation, moving between an extractive state, a taxation state, and a welfare state over time in order to expand social access and political participation inside the national community - while tolerating conditions that continue to belie the historical promise of equality. The authors draw on a range of literatures that transcend disciplinary boundaries to reveal how exploitative practices have been accepted. They conclude that the legitimization crises of the present must be comprehended through understanding how legitimation was always maintained by a state apparatus active at multiple scales and in multiple policy fields. This interdisciplinary book is addressed to a broad audience across disciplines, including political science, political economy, political history, comparative politics, international politics, international relations, American Political Development (APD), and cultural studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States. 650 0 $a Equality $z United States. 650 0 $a Political participation $z United States. 650 6 $a Participation politique $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $z Etats-Unis. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 700 1 $a Lammert, Christian, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lammert, Christian. $s Versprechen der Gleichheit.
