This book traces the evolution of the constitutional order,
explaining Donald Trump's election as a symptom of a degraded
democratic-capitalist system. Beginning with the framers' vision of
a balanced system-balanced between the public and private spheres,
between government power and individual rights-the constitutional
order evolved over two centuries until it reached its present
stage, Democracy, Inc., in which corporations and billionaires
wield herculean political power. The five conservative justices of
the early Roberts Court, including the late Antonin Scalia, stamped
Democracy, Inc., with a constitutional imprimatur, contravening the
framers' vision while simultaneously claiming to follow the
Constitution's original meaning. The justices believed they were
upholding the American way of life, but they instead placed our
democratic-capitalist system in its gravest danger since World War
II. With Neil Gorsuch replacing Scalia, the new Court must choose:
Will it follow the early Roberts Court in approving and bolstering
Democracy, Inc., or will it restore the crucial balance between the
public and private spheres in our constitutional system?
