Re: Post-Democracy <http://www.amazon.com/Post-Democracy-Themes-Century-Colin-Crouch/dp/074\ 5633153/ref=sr_1_1/102-3625894-9535320?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176794935&sr\ =1-1> by Colin Crouch, Looks very interesting - I just put it on order. From Amazon's book description:
Crouch argues that the decline of those social classes which had made possible an active and critical mass politics has combined with the rise of global capitalism to produce a self-referential political class more concerned with forging links with wealthy business interests than with pursuing political programmes which meet the concerns of ordinary people. Colin Crouch is Chairman of the Department of Social and Political Sciences and Professor of Sociology at the European University Institute.
