Three out of five Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, feel our country is headed in the wrong direction. America is at the edge, a critical place at which we can either renew and revitalize or give in and lose that most precious American ideal democracy and along with it the freedom, fairness, and opportunities it assures. "Democracy's Edge" is a rousing battle cry that we can and must act now. From Jefferson to Eisenhower, presidents from both parties have warned us of the danger of letting a closed, narrow group of business and government officials concentrate power over our lives. Yet today, a small and unrepresentative group of people is making vital decisions for all of us. But this crisis is only a symptom, Lappe argues. It's a symptom of thin democracy, something done to us or for us, not by or with us. Such democracy is always at risk of being stolen by private interests or extremist groups, left and right. But there is a solution. The answer, says Lappe, is Living Democracy, a powerful yet often invisible citizens' revolution surging in communities across America. It's not random, disjointed activism but the emergence of a new historical stage of democracy in which Americans realize that democracy isn't something we have but something we do. Either we live it or lose it, says Lappe.
"To save the democracy we thought we had, we must take it to where it's never been."
?Frances Moore Lappé
"Poetic and passionate...A small number of people in every generation are forerunners, in thought, action, spirit, who swerve past the barriers of greed and power to hold a torch high for the rest of us. Lappé is one of those."
?Howard Zinn, author, A People's History of the United States
"Please, please, please make this audacious book a priority, for it is written with the most careful and tender feelings about what we are all so near to losing???our democracy."
?Dame Anita Roddick, founder, The Body Shop
"America is lost in a gnarled thicket of bought politicos, corporate con men, and media hucksters. Lappé has drawn the map that will get us out alive."
?Greg Palast, author, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy
"With the clear thinking, plain talk, and penetrating insight that we have come to expect from her work, Lappé confronts fundamental problems directly and constructively."
?Noam Chomsky
"Lappé is a pioneer in democratic thought and action."
?Cornel West, University Professor of Religion, Princeton University
"Extraordinary. A provocative and exciting new approach to reviving democracy."
?Amy Domini, founder and CEO, Domini Social Investments
"Democracy's Edge is an exciting and hopeful account of the rebirth of a living American democracy as people connect with each other around the country to solve problems and build a better society."
?Jim Wallis, author, God's Politics, and convener and editor, Call to Renewal
