Capitalism didn’t fail, it was ruined. What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma’s account is not like any you will have heard before. He says progressives are right, in part, when they mock modern capitalism as “socialism for the rich.” For a century, governments have expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending to regulation and the scale of financial rescues when the economy wobbles. The result is expensive state guarantees for everyone—bailouts for the rich, entitlements for the middle class, welfare for the poor.

Story
Are the values that Americans collectively hold destroying the American Dream? The answer to that question depends upon the answers to some very specific questions. What do we as citizens of the United States believe we owe to one another as citizens? What is the purpose of government? What is of the role of the private enterprise? What is the meaning of equal opportunity? To what extent should purely economic concerns be regulated in the public interest?

On November 5, 2024, America will enter a gate of history that will open for us a new era of freedom and prosperity or a swift decline into irreversible tyranny. The hopes and dreams of millions of struggling Americans and the destiny of our children and grandchildren hang in the balance. Our two most cherished liberties enshrined in the first amendment of the Constitution—freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion—are under ravenous assault by wolves who seek to smite the shepherd, scatter the sheepdogs and devour the sheep.

Preserving Democracy tries to reimagine issues differently. Rather than seeing Democracy as defeating the opposition with fifty percent plus one, the core of Democracy is listening to everyone and building the most extensive consensus possible. Everyone has a say. The way to get what you want is to convince people, not defeat them.

Story
The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before.

Story
This book refers to the ideas that Western societies take this days as truth and end up favoring the emergence of despotic regimes, even born from elections. These ideas Benegas described as false are the absolute democracy, dictatorship identifying with physical violence, social democracy itself, egalitarianism, the class struggle, the pursuit of a wise government, identifying and state law, the overvaluation of the press to fight against tyranny, a very loose conception of corruption and income tax which has resulted in a strong surveillance system. While the analysis focuses on elected ...
