Creating a Democratic Public: The Struggle for Urban Participatory Democracy During the Progressive Era
Kevin Mattson
@anthonyzarzycki If you’re interested in more on this, I’d check out Theda Skocpol’s great book Diminished Democracy. It’s a really great read on the history of membership culture. Other good ones are : Starfish and the Spider, and Creating a Democratic Public by Kevin Mattson.

Democracy's Discontent: A New Edition for Our Perilous Times
Michael J. Sandel
This is what Michael Sandel gets at in Democracy’s Discontent, in defining and making the case for “civic republicanism”: even individualist liberalism is built on civic virtue—because all individual liberties/rights need public spirited citizens to realize and defend them.
