The 2008 collapse of the US financial system plunged the economy
into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression,
raising deep moral and institutional questions about the problems
of economic inequality and economic power on the one hand, and the
tensions between democracy and bureaucratic policymaking on the
other. In Democracy Against Domination , K. Sabeel Rahman draws on
a rich tradition of political economy rooted in the thought and
reform politics of early twentieth-century progressives like John
Dewey and Louis Brandeis to argue that, first, we should reconceive
economic governance as focused not just on growth or efficiency but
rather on counteracting the threat of domination whether in the
form of corporate power or inequitable markets; and second, that we
must do so by expanding the capacity of citizens themselves to
exercise real political power in economic policymaking.
Synthesizing a range of insights from law, history, political
theory, and public policy, Rahman combines a fresh normative
approach to democratic theory and economic power with a concrete
analysis of the institutions needed to realize urgent hopes for a
more equitable and democratic economy.
