| Description: | The book’s three parts examine the relationship of democracy and organized action through different lenses. Part I explains the theoretical relationship of community-based mediating structures and democracy. Chapter 1 explains Appalachian poverty as the consequence of public policies that tie education, health care, housing, and other forms of human welfare to labor force participation. Chapter 2 examines democratic theories about the social, political, and economic roles of mediating structures in redressing social and economic inequality. Part II illustrates the social, political, and economic roles of community-based mediating structures in achieving the democratic prospect. |
