Social supports have been cut, while corporations have achieved record profits. What is going on? According to Robert Kuttner, global capitalism is to blame. By limiting workers' rights, liberating bankers, and allowing corporations to evade taxation, raw capitalism strikes at the very foundation of a healthy democracy. Capitalism should serve democracy and not the other way around. One result of this misunderstanding is the large number of disillusioned voters who supported the faux populism of Donald Trump. Charting a plan for bold action based on political precedent, \u003cem\u003eCan Democracy Survive Global Capitalism?\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for anyone eager to reverse the decline of democracy in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKuttner, Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Kuttner\u003c\/strong\u003e, cofounder and coeditor of the \u003cem\u003eAmerican Prospect\u003c\/em\u003e, is a former columnist for \u003cem\u003eBusinessWeek\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e, and the \u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e.
