Accountability and Credibility in Politics

This chapter explores the importance of accountability among political commentators and the influence of neoconservatives despite their track record of failures. It critiques the disconnect between personal responsibility in private sectors versus government and highlights the evolving dynamics within the Democratic Party and its relationship with big business. The discussion further examines the implications of socio-economic changes in America following the 2008 financial crisis, connecting these trends to the cultural shifts that contributed to the rise of Donald Trump.
