About this listen
American democracy is, in many people's minds, the model for the rest of the world. Fareed Zakaria points out that the American form of democracy is one of the least democratic in use today. Members of the Supreme Court and the Federal Reserve, institutions that fundamentally shape our lives, are appointed, not elected. The Bill of Rights enumerates a set of privileges to which citizens are entitled, no matter what the majority says. By restricting our democracy, we enhance our freedom.

Far from boring
I can see how someone who believes the west is still genuinely free and can’t accept the increasing limitations to our freedom and the cart driving the horse direction would claim it’s boring, but it isn’t. You either have to be cognisant of the shift or open minded to enjoy this.
It’s brilliant.

Good but obsolete sometimes
The book was published before social media changed everything. I would add one more chapter today.
