Traces the origins of town-meeting democracy in Ashfield, a community of just under 2,000 people in the foothills of the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. In this candid account of the operation of democracy in one New England town, Donald Robinson demonstrates that for better and for worse, Ashfield governs itself democratically.
