holzner, the poverty of democracy

(88): Przeworski warning that free market will weaken democracy, b/c it requires demobilization of trade unions, leftists, etc.

(91): in sum--not encouraging developments with neoliberalism. democracy has weakened, especially amongst poor

(95): 'apathy' as learned

(95-111): three mechanisms

1. poverty decreases resources. participation requires resources
   
2. weakenes lower-class organizations, denies them resources
   
3. reduction of size and scope of State activities

(104): political participation becomes irrelevant (if not irrational)

(110): decentralization is not accompanied by actual empowerment in local gov'ts
