"Democratic systems do not work unless theres is basic consensus amongst citizens about the acceptability of their state and social system, or at least a readiness to bargain for compromise settlements. This, in turn, is much facilitated by prosperity."
in Hobsbawm, E. (1994). Age of Extremes - The Short Twentieth Century - 1914-10091 (p 136). London: Michael Joseph.
