Democracy in America
Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville is a classic observation of American political and social life in the 1830s that evaluates the triumphs and perils of egalitarian democracy.
Discussed“So there were huge periods of time that we had very low immigration in this country, and if you actually read democracy in America by Tocqueville, he doesn’t mention the word immigrant or immigration even once in that book, the US is 2 percent foreign born at that time.”

What's the Matter with Kansas?
What's the Matter with Kansas? by Thomas Frank is a political analysis examining the shift of working-class voters toward the Republican Party and the cultural grievances driving conservative populism.
Discussed“I mean, again, the book I’m working on right now has got the working title, what’s the matter with Minnesota. And I chose that a year ago. By the way, listeners, just like you will recognize that as an allusion to Thomas Frank’s book. What’s the matter with Kansas.”
