Becca’s Reviews > Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone > Status Update

Highly recommend this book. Astra Taylor lays out the history of how democratic institutions were developed in the US (and why many of them are actually deeply undemocratic). Neoliberalism has transformed our political and economic systems, undermining fundamental freedoms and equality. She's frank about the scale of these challenges while maintaining optimism – better worlds do exist, & we can imagine alternatives.
