Partisan polarization has reached a fever pitch, paralyzing the legislative process and eroding public trust. The influence of money in politics continues to distort policy decisions. At the same time, voter suppression and gerrymandering undermine the fairness of elections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book delves into the heart of these systemic dysfunctions, comprehensively analysing their causes and consequences.
