In The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding, Osita Nwanevu sets out to understand the true meaning of democracy and defend it from its critics, not just on the right but those liberals who doubt the capacity of ordinary voters to determine their country’s fate in a complex world.
From there, he levels a critique of the Constitution for its myriad democratic deficits, then details what refounding the United States as a genuinely democratic country—politically and economically—would require of us.
