Forward: notes on the future of our democracy

Introduction: Democracy by a thread

A winding path to center stage

Deciding to do the unreasonable thing

The wing ding is stacked against me (or how we learn about candidates)

Adventures in advertising and social media

The reality show of running for president

The eye of Sauron

Power screws with your mind

The end of the beginning

Systems failure

Death by bureaucracy

The inhuman economy

How we know what we know

Your data whose data?

Loyalty cuts both ways

Watching the Watchmen

Why not much passes

The wave that wasn't

Constructive institutionalism (or the priests of the decline)

The human economy : making what we measure

Rewiring democracy

The rational public

Speaking in facts

The tax Mandalorian

Grace and tolerance : humanity in action

Choices, choices
