Is America a Democracy or an Oligarchy?
Eamon Doyle
There are a number of obvious differences between the political and
economic conditions of the late nineteenth century and those of the past
several decades, but there are also uncanny similarities. Americans
concerned about the specter of oligarchy in contemporary US politics might
find inspiration by looking back to the reforms and populist spirit of the
Progressive Era, when democracy asserted itself against oligarchy—and
won the day. These and other issues are explored by the authors of the
diverse viewpoints in At Issue: Is America a Democracy or an Oligarchy?
