The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution. Reconstructing the Economic Foundations of American Democracy, Paperback/William E. Forbath

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.
