People are angry in America, more than at any point in the last hundred years.

It's written by a professor at the Naval War College, who has been fighting America's political battles since 9/11.

Technological progress has led to a problem that is more grave than any of the problems it has been solving. It has allowed those people who are in charge of shaping our society to develop a dangerously narrow view of what democracy really means. Democracy is not just about "the people," it is about the idea that sovereignty rests with, and resides within, the people. The idea that power resides within everyone and they decide how, when, and where it is exercised. It's an idea Thomas Paine called "a natural right."

In this audiobook, Tom Nichols offers a provocative critique of how modern democracy is failing. He examines the forces that are causing democratic systems to breakdown at an increasing rate and why democratic capitalism is not addressing these problems.
