| Summary | "The Unfinished Programme of Democracy" by Richard Roberts is a socio-political treatise written in the early 20th century. This work addresses the challenges and inadequacies of modern democracy, arguing that while a democratic government has been established, the broader social and economic dimensions necessary for true democracy remain unfulfilled. The author emphasizes the importance of addressing these shortcomings to prevent the decay of democratic ideals. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of democracy's current crisis. Roberts outlines the inherent flaws in existing democratic frameworks, suggesting that they lack necessary ethical and economic underpinnings. He critiques the prevailing understanding of democracy as primarily a political system, instead advocating for a more comprehensive approach that also encompasses economic equality and moral responsibility. He warns that without substantial reforms aimed at extending democratic principles into all areas of life, society risks regressing into new forms of privilege and authority.
