The Gardens of Democracy by Eric Liu.. This is a good tome to bang a stake into the withered heart of the vampiress, Ayn Rand. (It's not very heavy, but her heart isn't either.) Good thoughts on the principle of a functioning democracy being an ecosystem. Take that, social Darwinists! – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"The Gardens of Democracy provides a refreshing new conceptual approach to understanding our economic and political situation, and it will help us move past the fossilized ideas in today’s public debates." – Francis Fukuyama "Even if you don't agree with everything the authors propose, you will find 'The Gardens of Democracy' to be spirited and thought provoking." – The Bellingham Review |
