The Semisovereign People: A Realist's View of Democracy in America
Argues that the scope of a conflict decides its outcome, that the pressure system recruits a narrow, upper-status slice of the public, and that organization is a mobilization of bias. Full text NOT read: the only scans found are borrow-only. Known through study notes (adambrown.info) and encyclopedia entries that attribute "The flaw in the pluralist heaven is that the heavenly chorus sings with a strong upper-class accent" to p. 35; no exact wording was read in the book, so no quote is registered.

- Note
- Standing note: foundational, concept not an effect size; the "upper-class bias" claim comes from mid-century U.S. conditions and needs checking against later work (for example Baumgartner et al. 2009). Replace with the borrowed or library text before any quote is used. Never-quote until read.
