Beschreibung
The ideals of America's Founding Fathers confront the fears of modern populism. George Washington wanted Americans to welcome people of "all nations and religions." Television commentators like Tucker Carlson expect Amercans to fear "demographic change."
The book also finds points of agreement. Many modern Americans, populist or not, worry about the clout of big money in politics. The "Father of the Constitution," James Madison, worried about excessive accumulation of wealth by corporations and churches.
Bonus material covers other aspects of history misunderstood by some pundits. The book points to a surprising thread running through the history of cultural anxiety.
