McCarthy's The Ultimate Tyranny: the Majority over the Majority is a scathing examination of the dangers of unchecked majority rule.

Drawing on historical examples from around the world, McCarthy shows how majority rule can be used to oppress minority groups, silence dissent, and expand the reach of the state. McCarthy offers a cogent and chilling analysis of the dangers of unchecked majority rule and provides a compelling argument for the need for safeguards against its abuse.; 8vo; 229 pages .
