Threats to Democracy and Corruption: A Deep Dive
The chapter delves into vulnerabilities in democratic systems that lead to corruption and dissatisfaction among citizens, discussing the need for more responsive and less corrupt governance. Featuring a conversation with experts, it explores the impact of money in politics, erosion of anti-corruption laws, and the deliberate campaign to undermine trust in government over the past 40 years. The chapter also analyzes how regulations, while essential for fairness, may inadvertently create perceptions of government inefficiency, potentially increasing the appeal of leaders who promise to cut through red tape efficiently.
