How America Works…and Why It Doesn’t: A Brief Guide to the US Political System by William Cooper.
Cooper validates something we’ve all been feeling lately: that twenty-first-century America isn’t working the way it’s supposed to. He sets out to provide a non-partisan assessment of the ongoing challenges faced by American democracy, explaining key aspects of US political history to give the background to recent, dangerous developments. Cooper also shows how these recent developments have their roots in the deeper past, with the establishment of the political system in the first place and all the knocks and tweaks to it along the way. And he reveals how the US Supreme Court is now exacerbating polarization instead of acting as an effective check on executive power.
