Alexander Hamilton Bücher

Die Federalist Papers gehören zu den bedeutendsten Texten der modernen westlichen Demokratie. Die fünfundachtzig Artikel, welche 1787/88 erschienen und die zur Abstimmung anstehende amerikanische Verfassung verteidigten, diskutieren die Fundamente repräsentativer Demokratie und sind gleichsam als Gründungsdokumente heutiger pluralistischer Gesellschaften zu lesen. Ihre Aussagekraft ist von zeitloser Aktualität – sowohl vor dem Hintergrund der Legitimätskrise westlicher Demokratien wie angesichts der weltpolitischen Rolle der Vereinigten Staaten. Barbara Zehnpfennigs vielgerühmte Übersetzung liegt nun erstmals in einer preiswerten Ausgabe vor.
