"The real problem with democracy ... "


"The real problem with democracy is not that special interests frustrate the will of the people. It is, rather, that people are smart as consumers but stupid as voters.... The problem with government policy is not that the majority is right and ignored, but that it is wrong and heeded."
~ Bryan Caplan, from his post 'Intellectual Autobiography of Bryan Caplan: Part 1: 1988-2003'
