Using Chicago as an example, Simpson examines how the political, racial, economic, and social inequalities dividing the nation play out in our neighborhoods and cities. His investigation of our current crisis and its causes delves into issues like money in politics, low voter participation, the politics of resentment, political corruption, and a host of structural problems. But Democracy's Rebirth goes beyond analysis. Simpson lays out a sober, practical manifesto meant to inspire people everywhere to educate themselves and do the hard work of creating the kind of strong institutions that will allow true democracy to flourish. 410 0$aIllinois scholarship online. 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPolitical participation$zIllinois$zChicago 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xPolitics and government 607 $aChicago (Ill.)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical participation 676 $a977.31104 700 $aSimpson$b Dick W.$01121853 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812413203321 996 $aDemocracy's rebirth$93944743 997 $aUNINA
