Salvaging Democracy

Salvaging Democracy is a carefully distilled and structured examination of who we are and what we stand for. These selected works-by someone who spent many years on the frontlines of domestic political conflict-expose the systematic betrayal of our ideals and how this betrayal might realistically be overcome. It is a timely and important work-a sling of arrows for the war of ideas.


These two theses and four essays on America integrate into a coherent and meaningful whole an understanding of how the birthplace of modern democracy became such a mess. Incorporating the insights of America's top thinkers on the topic, the author provides both scholars and ordinary citizens with essential tools and analysis required for effective engagement.

Building on our core values, this discussion by some of our keenest minds makes clear the methods to be used to enable all concerned to become producers rather than consumers of the democratic process.
