America, Compromised
Book • 2018
In *America, Compromised*, Lawrence Lessig argues that the problems in contemporary American life are not due to bad people but rather to the corruption of core institutions through compromise.
He examines how institutions like Congress, finance, academia, media, and law are drawn away from their higher purposes toward money and power.
Lessig emphasizes that these compromises, made by good people, contribute to the decay of American civic life.
