Democracy: Is it good?

Bryan Caplan, George Mason professor of economics, has a new book coming out. The book addresses voter irrationality in democracies. I give you a quote:

“Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom” -FA Hayek

Let me know what you think about this excerpt.

Maybe the title of the book would have been better if it read, "Democracy, what's better?"
