Description
After the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked, “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?" Franklin's response: “A Republic—if you can keep it." This book argues: we couldn't keep it.... Corruption today is so widespread that our government is not really a republic, but rather a special interest democracy. Everybody may participate, yes, but the contours of public policy depend not so much on the common good, but on the push-and-pull of the various interest groups encamped in Washington, DC. --Provided by publisher.
