On Republics - Gary Hart - Bog

"This is a book that will make you more versed in political theory and political practice. As the political climate is constantly changing, the author, a politician who has worked in Washington, D.C., explores how the American Republic can save American Democracy, in particular from creeping authoritarianism. He examines the basic tenets of republicanism as laid out by America's Founders-popular sovereignty, a sense of the common good, resistance to corruption, and civic virtue-then goes on to analyze how each of these can be used to restore American democracy and its ideals. The book is full of valuable thought and insight from a seasoned politician and public servant, and will galvanize readers to work together toward a brighter future"--
