Jan.-Feb. 2013, "Broken: A Primer on American Political Disorder," American Interest, Adam Garfinkle
"It’s no one thing: Rapid global economic change, institutional
deficiencies in governance and plutocratic smarm have reinforced
each other to create one huge tangle of a problem."
"Now that the 2012 campaign is over, we would do well
to turn attention in earnest to the problems the United States faces,
none of which are the slightest bit closer to resolution as a
consequence of the election.1 Never has an American
presidential race been so devoid of serious debate and genuine ideas as
this one was, and this at a time when our need for real analysis and
bold proposals is greater than ever. The country is in real trouble—not
on account of some foreign adversary, but because our political system
has become broadly dysfunctional. The recent election season, far from
improving things, rather stands as a symptom of the dysfunction."...(subscrip.)
