Democracy Unchained: How We Should Fulfill Our Social Rights and Save Self-Government - Paperback

by Richard Dien Dien Winfield (Author)

Democracy Unchained draws upon lessons from Professor Richard Dien Winfield's 2018 campaign for US Congress in Georgia to show how the United States' failure to fulfill our social rights has put our self-government in jeopardy and undermined our ability to uphold family welfare and the social opportunity on which democracy depends. Pulling from both basic philosophical argument and research into the state of our society, Democracy Unchained presents detailed policy proposals to fulfill our fundamental right to employment at a fair wage, level the playing field between employee and employer, secure a healthy environment and fair access to healthcare, balance work and family, make decent housing available to all, ensure educational opportunity at all levels, provide legal care for all -- enabling everyone's rights to be duly protected -- and fund all these measures through fair taxation.
