Restore Trust: Economic Solutions to Current Social and Political Issues in the U.S.

Is American democracy really broken—or are we just looking in the wrong places?
Every day, Americans hear the same arguments:
Blame the parties. Blame the politicians. Blame each other.

American democracy is under pressure—but the real problem may be deeper than politics.
Restore Democracy examines the economic and political forces weakening America from within: inequality, poverty traps, corporate influence, lobbying, gerrymandering, polarization, and the loss of public trust.
This thought-provoking book connects economics and governance to show why the system feels broken—and what must change if the republic is to endure.

For readers who want more than partisan blame and easy answers.
