Fishkin, Joseph

The anti-oligarchy constitution : reconstructing the economic foundations of American democracy / Joseph Fishkin, William E. Forbath. - Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2022. - 632 pages ; 24 cm.

Oligarchy is a threat to the republic. Joseph Fishkin and William Forbath show that, for most of US history, Americans saw the Constitution as responding to that threat by imposing on legislators a duty to break up oligarchy, block corporate political power, and ensure a broad distribution of wealth and political power among ordinary Americans.
