“Liberal democracy has been one of the sturdiest political systems in the history of the modern West.”
Benjamin R. Barber (August 2, 1939 – April 24, 2017) was an American political theorist and author, perhaps best known for his 1995 bestseller, *Jihad vs. McWorld*, and for 2013's *If Mayors Ruled the World* as well as the classic of democratic theory, 1984's *Strong Democracy* (revised in 2004). He became a top-level international consultant on participatory democracy as well as an adviser to Bill Clinton and Howard Dean. **Source**: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Barber">Benjamin Barber</a> on Wikipedia (Wikipedia contributors, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>).
