Recommendation
If Americans donât know whatâs in their Constitution, how can they pick leaders who will uphold its principles? Since the days of Plato in ancient Greece, intellectuals have fretted about ignorant voters and argued for a system run by educated people instead. Political scientist Jason Brennan is one such intellectual. Literary critic and journalist Caleb Crain dissects Brennanâs new book Against Democracy, offering historical insights and a fresh voice. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends Crainâs sharp analysis, which doesnât lose faith in democracy.
