A Republic of Equals

In A Republic of Equals, Jonathan Rothwell examines the relationship between political inequality and the economic and social injustices plaguing democracies like the United States. Drawing on extensive empirical evidence, he argues that political power often skews access to markets and public services, perpetuating income inequality and racial politics. The book also explores the rise of nationalism and its ties to these issues, ultimately proposing a vision for fostering greater political and social equality in pursuit of a true republic.
