a citizenry imbued with civic virtue". In practical application, this need for a sense of "civic virtue" on the side of the citizenry is problematic, as "legislatures, let alone citizens, do not begin with civic virtue, nor do they end up talking about it". Grady's review focuses on the additions made to the second edition of The End of Liberalism. While Lowi's additions provide clarity, Grady still labels the work as a polemic. While Lowi provides many examples of juridical democracy's advantages, he does nothing to address the unlikelihood that Congress would ever address the wide sweeping reforms necessary to implement it. While the practical application of juridical democracy is questionable, even Grady (and other critics of Lowi) agree that as a theory, juridical democracy provides another tool with which "the political scientist probes the weaknesses and liabilities of political practice" by questioning the process and outcomes of interest-group liberalism. Grady admits that while Lowi has not been able to catch the attention of political leadership, his analysis of interest-group liberalism has been adopted by many political scientists, and is "perhaps the most systematic and telling critique of pluralism to have emerged from the controversial decade of the 1960s".
