Author: Maxwell L. Stearns
Narrator: Maxwell L. Stearns
Americans face increasingly stark choices each presidential election and a growing sense that our government can't solve the nation's most urgent challenges. Our eighteenth-century system is ill-suited to our twenty-first-century world. Information-age technology has undermined our capacity to face common problems together and turned our democracy upside down, with gerrymanders letting representatives choose voters rather than voters choosing them. In Parliamentary America, Maxwell L. Stearns argues that the solution to these complex problems is a parliamentary democracy.

Stearns considers such leading alternatives as ranked choice voting, the national popular vote, and congressional term limits, showing why these can't solve our constitutional crisis. Instead, three amendments-expanding the House of Representatives, having House party coalitions choose the president, and letting the House end a failing presidency based on no confidence-will produce a robust multiparty democracy. Stearns takes listeners on a world tour-England, France, Germany, Israel, Taiwan, Brazil, and Venezuela-showing what works in government, what doesn't, and how to make the best features our own. Genuine party competition and governing coalitions, commonplace across the globe, may seem like a fantasy in the United States. But we can make them a reality.
