In his book, Mick Jackson contends that the American political system is profoundly dysfunctional. The core of its dysfunctionality is its fundamentally undemocratic essence, grounded on the 1787 Constitution. The succeeding 230 years contributed several undemocratic layers and aggravated its undemocratic features. This dysfunctionality contributed to our many social and economic issues, such as wealth and income inequality, the absence of universal health coverage, lower life expectancy, racial divisions, and more. Mick, the author, will facilitate most classes. This is a repeat of the class offered in Fall 2025, if you missed the class then.
