- Title
CHARLES DUPONT-WHITE, L'ANTI-TOCQUEVILLE.
- Authors
SPITZ, Jean-Fabien
- Abstract
The article focuses on French economist, lawyer, and socialist Charles Dupont-White and his views concerning the theories put forth by French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville about the democratic regime in France. It discusses de Tocqueville's book "De la démocratie en Amérique" (Democracy in America), in which he theorizes that the government of France suffocates its civil society and is more concerned with equality for all rather than individual liberty. According to the author, Dupont-White disagrees with this theory and claims that it is false. Topics include Dupont-White's comparison of France and Great Britain's history and his views concerning France's centralized monarchy.
