The Evolution of Mixed Government
The chapter explores the historical roots of mixed government, drawing inspiration from Aristotle and Montesquieu and its effects on the American middle class. It challenges the narrative that the founding fathers alone created prosperity, emphasizing the role of various social forces. The impact of federalism, the American constitution, industrial revolution, and post-World War II era on the middle class is examined, along with discussions on democracy, media influence, voting franchise expansion, and potential flaws in the American government structure.
