Written by 55 of the richest white men, and signed by only 39 of
them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American
nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth
and misinformation - many Americans have opinions on the
constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines
the constitution for what it is - a rulebook for elites to protect
capitalism from democracy. Social movements have misplaced faith in
the constitution as a tool for achieving justice when it actually
impedes social change through the many roadblocks and obstructions
we call 'checks and balances'. This stymies urgent progress on
issues like labour rights, poverty, public health and climate
change, propelling the American people and rest of the world
towards destruction. Robert Ovetz's reading of the constitution
shows that the system isn't broken. Far from it. It works as it was
designed to.
