~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are proud to announce Democracy No. 51!
Leading the issue: We are--we hope--halfway through the Trump era, which inspired
our symposium "Halfway Home?", in which we invite a number of contributors to share
their thoughts about where they think things stand, and what our side needs to be
doing as we hurtle toward 2020. Things got better on November 6, but there's still
a lot of building to do, and this symposium helps show the way.
Our friend Nick Hanauer, the Seattle venture capitalist, has established himself
 in recent years as probably the leading voice among the zillionaire class for a
 sensible progressive economic policy built not around more tax cuts for him but
 around more investments in the middle class. Here, he argues that the largest employers
must be made to lead the way to pay better wages and benefits--and should be penalized
when they fail to.
We also publish in this issue two important foreign-policy essays. Daniel B. Shapiro,
the former U.S. ambassador to Israel under President Obama, assays President Trump's
attacks on NATO. And Ganesh Sitaraman argues that it's not right-wing populism that
is the real threat to liberal democracy--it's nationalist oligarchy.
Rounding out the features section we have two other provocative essays. The first,
by Didi Kuo, looks back at a time when democracy and capitalism were more compatible
and asks whether they can be still. And the second, by Ian Millhiser, argues that
it may be time for Democrats to consider something radical: court-packing.
Elsewhere, we're excited to present book reviews from Suzanne Nossel, Brentin Mock,
and Jon Shelton.

It's a shocking thing to say, but the President of the United States is the biggest

Until the late 1970s, a rough balance of power existed between democracy and capitalism.
Can today's capitalists be more like yesterday's?

win rigged elections and the Supreme Court winks.
