The Term 'Banana Republic' and Accountability in Government
This chapter discusses the term 'banana republic' and how it has evolved to describe an unstable corrupt government. It refutes Trump's claim that the indictments against him make the United States a 'banana republic' and argues that accountability at the highest levels of government is a positive thing. It provides examples of other countries that have held their leaders accountable and mentions a study that shows these countries became more free as a result.
