America has beaten oligarchy before, three times in fact, and this history-backed guide makes the case it can happen again.

Billionaire-funded politics, a captured judiciary, and consolidated media have brought American democracy to a genuine crisis point, and the 2020 pandemic made the scale of that looting impossible to ignore. But this isn't the first time concentrated wealth has threatened self-governance, and the historical record offers more than warning. It offers a roadmap.

Drawing on American history from the founding era through the present day, this book traces how ordinary citizens pushed back against oligarchy at three critical moments, and what those battles reveal about winning today.

What's inside:
  • The full arc of oligarchic power from the British aristocracy the founders opposed, through the feudal Confederacy, to FDR's battles with “economic royalists” who tried to kill the New Deal
  • How unlimited campaign contributions, media consolidation, and judicial capture work together as a system
  • Concrete policy steps to break up media monopolies, limit political money, and reclaim stolen public wealth
  • A practical framework for building a movement rooted in democratic history

For readers who want American history with purpose and a path forward, not just a diagnosis.
