When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue, and charismatic fantasist.

For decades, American politics has been plagued by a breakdown between the Democratic and Republican parties, in which victory has inevitably led to defeat and vice versa. Both parties have lost sight of the people at the center of the American electorate, leading to polarization and paralysis. In Where Have All the Democrats Gone?, John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira reveal the tectonic changes shaping the country’s current political landscape that both pundits and political scientists have missed.

Interesting and compelling but unapologetically Keynesian
Revisado: 01-09-24
I enjoyed the book but I found it off putting how often the authors stated economic and labor policies as if they were purely factual. Any pro-free trade, anti-union, or pro-spending policies are stated as the “right” move not just to win over the working class vote but also for pure economic growth and success of America. Tax cuts are stated as “regressive” whenever mentioned and deficits or negative effects of government spending are ignored.
I would love to read this book in a purely factual perspective followed by partisan conclusions that are separate rather than interspersed within the factual statements.
As it got into more recent years I found the takes more illuminating and less stilted.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and recommend it, with the caveat that the anti-free trade and pro-union factual statements fit with the overall perspective of the book as centering on the working class.
