Overview
Ā
Americans across the political spectrum agree that ourĀ democracy is in crisis.Ā We view our political opponents with disdain, if not terror, and anĀ increasing numberĀ of us are willing to consider authoritarian alternatives.Ā InĀ Two Cheers for Politics,Ā JedediahĀ Purdy argues thatĀ thisĀ heated political culture is a symptomĀ not of too much democracy but too little.Ā Today,Ā theĀ decisionsĀ that most affect ourĀ livesĀ and our communitiesĀ areĀ oftenĀ made outside the political realm entirely, as market ideology, constitutional law, andĀ cultural norms effectively removeĀ broad swaths of collective life from the table of collective decision.Ā The result is a weakened and ineffective political systemĀ and an increasingly unequalĀ and polarized society.Ā If we wish to renewĀ that society,Ā weāllĀ need to claw back the ground thatĀ weāveĀ ceded to anti-politics andĀ entrust one another with the power to shape our common life.Ā
