Описание: In 2008 Thomas Geoghegan--then an established labor lawyer and prolific writer--embarked on a campaign to represent Chicagos Fifth District in the U.S. House, in a special election called when the sitting congressman, Rahm Emanuel, stepped down to serve as newly elected President Barack Obamas chief of staff. For ninety wintry days leading up to the election Geoghegan, a political neophyte at 60, knocked on doors and shook hands at train stations and made fundraising calls--and lost. But out of this humbling experience came something new: another book. Taking its title from Walt Whitman, The History of Democracy Is Yet to Be Written: How We Have to Learn to Govern All Over Again, combines tales from the campaign trail with an incisive vision of how we might rebuild our tattered democracy. In a polarized country, where 100 million citizens dont vote, and those who do are otherwise rarely politically engaged, he makes an impassioned and witty case for the possibility of a truly representative democracy, one built on the ideals of the House, the true chamber of the people, and inspired by the poet who gives the book its name. A whole agenda for the Democratic party could come just out of Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass, he writes. If we treated working people with the reverence that Whitman had for them, if we see them in the workplace as Whitman did, we might never have had a Trump.
