Abstract: Are economic development and political democracy compatible? If so, how? Richard Franklin Bensel's latest book answers the first question affirmatively but suggests that compatibility is not inevitable. Most of the book addresses the second question by explaining how the United States accomplished the compatibility feat over the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This rich, intricate analysis demands attention by those interested in the politics and economics of U.S. development.
