People imagine that the United States might be on the verge of a civil war, but no one imagines this of Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden. Is it because they have fuller democracies than that of the United States? Is it because their citizens have a stronger commitment to democracy than those of the United States? Is it because, more than the United States, they have qualities that Aristotle associated with a middle class?
