Our Constitution Is Anti-Oligarchy Actually | William Forbath & Joseph Fishkin | TMR
Joseph Fishkin and William Forbath join the program to discuss their book The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution. In this powerful critique, Fishkin and Forbath highlight how oligarchy poses a significant threat to the American republic, jeopardizing the constitutional requirement for a "republican form of government." Despite a rich history of constitutional thought centered on preventing oligarchy and promoting a more equitable distribution of wealth and power, today's courts often overlook these concerns. Fishkin and Forbath delve into the tradition of the "democracy-of-opportunity," where reformers, legislators, and judges recognized the duty to counteract oligarchic influence. From Jacksonians fighting against economic privileges for the few to Progressives advocating for the right to form unions, the fight against oligarchy shaped pivotal moments in American history. However, in the current era of rising economic inequality, this tradition lies largely dormant. The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution calls for rediscovering and embracing this legacy to address the profound implications it holds for a deeply unequal society and a faltering democracy.
