  Stewart Carrell's book, "American Democracy," is a forthright argument for why the United States needs radical change to safeguard democratic values and continue world leadership.

The article from the Los Angeles Times, published on December 12, 2024, discusses the critical state of American democracy, highlighting its systemic failures and the urgent need for reform. It points out that despite the country's foundational principles of democracy, recent years have seen a decline in public trust, exacerbated by political polarization, misinformation, and the influence of money in politics. The piece argues that the essence of democracy—fair representation, equality, and the rule of law—is being undermined by these factors. It calls for comprehensive reforms including campaign finance reform, strengthening voting rights, and addressing gerrymandering to restore faith in the democratic process. The article emphasizes the need for both structural changes and a cultural shift towards civic engagement to ensure that democracy does not just survive but thrives.
