Sommario/riassunto: <span><span>Reinhold Niebuhr helps us to understand why our politics is broken and research on the brain confirms his analysis: we are all vain and self-righteous, and far too quick to reject anyone who thinks otherwise. To restore a democracy that works, we need to understand ourselves better and develop the humility such knowledge should engender. </span></span><br /><span><span> </span></span><br /><span><span> </span></span>
