Everyone knows that Washington is becoming increasingly disconnected from the rest of the country. Kevin Phillips, known for his bestsellers on American politics, explains why. Washington is entangled in bureaucracy, dominated by Wall Street, 90,000 lobbyists, 60,000 lawyers, and an unprecedented concentration of special interests. This makes it a burden on the country, just as the Founding Fathers feared.
The situation in Washington
- Political renewal is absent due to the entrenched system.
- "Permanent Washington" is feared and hated, but unyielding.
- Comparisons with fallen great powers like Rome, Madrid, and Amsterdam as a warning.
Necessary changes
Washington must be cleaned up and revitalized. Phillips presents a plan for political renewal with diverse, sometimes revolutionary, sometimes moderate, but always controversial solutions.
