What's fundamentally wrong with American politics is not just who is in it but how it is organized--or better, disorganized--by our present political party system. Over the past generation, the American economy dissolved into a world economy, the majority of adult women entered the paid labor force, environmental destruction became global, critics came to an almost infinitely greater appreciation of the importance and difficulty of achieving racial and gender justice, living standards stagnated and income inequality soared, and the cold war suddenly ended.
