Download What Would Jefferson Do?: A Return to Democracy AudioBook Free
When the Founding Fathers were looking for the best and fairest form of government, they researched the models of Athenian democracy, the Roman republic, and the Iroquois Confederacy and created what's now called a modern liberal democracy. Today, 81 countries serves as a fully democratic. Yet in numerous countries surrounding the world democracy has failed or is tottering, and in america its key points are increasingly under siege from commercial and other makes. Americans pride themselves on the democracy, but today's legislative process often no longer reflects the perspective of the Founders. In What Would Jefferson Do? Thom Hartmann shows why democracy is no aberration in human history but the oldest, most resilient, and most common form of government, with root base in character itself. He traces specifically the history of democracy in america, identifies the most prevalent myths about it, and offers an inspiring yet genuine plan for transforming the political landscape and reviving Jefferson's goal before it is too past due.
