A revolutionary little book on democracy that made the list of 10
books Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks everyone should
read Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer outline a simple but revolutionary
argument for why our most basic assumptions about democracy need
updating for the 21st century. They offer a roadmap for those
looking for a way forward from an American life marked by divisive
conversations. In a world with widespread political upheaval, a
deep wellspring of civic engagement and collective action is
emerging. America is finding that our cultural and political
dialogue is spiking over everything from racial and social justice
to fighting the ever-widening income gap, to climate change--even
how we might best collaborate as active citizens to heal our
democracy. Timely, inspiring, and highly charged, The Gardens of
Democracy is a much-needed call to action for citizens to embrace
their roles in a democratic society. To model positivity and good
citizenship, plus ensure liberty and justice for all, we must
achieve compromise by reaching across the aisle and putting the
power to execute programs back in the hands of individuals, not big
government. We must redefine how we view prosperity in order to
move from a dog-eat-dog mentality that perpetuates the top 1% to a
communal and inclusive movement that illustrates that we're all
better off when we're all better off. "A refreshing new conceptual
approach to understanding our economic and political
situation"--Francis Fukuyama, author of The Origins of Political
Order "Everyone will find something to disagree with here, and
that's the point: getting us out of our comfort zones is an
immensely useful democratic undertaking."--E.J. Dionne Jr., author
of Why Americans Hate Politics
