Who is associated with the sentence ?
'The will of the people is the product and not the motive power of political process.'
Answer: B
The sentence is from Joseph Schumpeter.
In Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942), Schumpeter rejected the 'classical doctrine' that democracy carries out the will of the people. He argued that this will is largely manufactured by competing leaders and parties, so it is the product, not the motive power, of the political process. Democracy, for him, is simply a competitive struggle for the people's vote.
Robert Dahl developed the theory of polyarchy, Steven Lukes (spelt 'Lukas' here) wrote on power, and S. M. Lipset on the social conditions of democracy.
