"This absolutely splendid book is a triumph on every level. A
first-rate history of the United States, it is beautifully written,
deeply researched, and filled with entertaining stories. For anyone
who wants to see our democracy flourish, this is the book to
read."-Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals To all who
say our democracy is broken riven by partisanship, undermined by
extremism, corrupted by wealth history offers hope. In nearly every
generation since the nation's founding, critics have lodged similar
complaints, and yet the nation is still standing. In Democracy: A
Case Study, Harvard Business School professor David Moss reveals
that the United States has often thrived on conflict. Democracy's
nineteen case studies take us from James Madison and Alexander
Hamilton's debates in the run up to the Constitutional Convention
to Citizens United. They were honed in Moss's popular and highly
influential course at the Harvard Business School and are now being
taught in high schools across the country. Each one presents
readers with a pivotal moment in U.S. history and raises questions
facing key decision makers at the time: Should the delegates
support Madison's proposal for a congressional veto over state
laws? Should President Lincoln resupply Fort Sumter? Should Florida
lawmakers approve or reject the Equal Rights Amendment? Readers are
asked to weigh the choices and consequences, wrestle with momentous
decisions, and come to their own conclusions. Moss invites us to
consider what distinguishes a constructive from a destructive
conflict, to engage in the passionate debates that are crucial to a
healthy society, and to experience American history anew. You will
come away from this engaging and thought-provoking book with a
deeper understanding of American democracy's greatest strengths and
weaknesses-and a new appreciation of its extraordinary resilience.
