Скачать или смотреть The People vs. The Powerful Civic: Republicanism and Plutocracy Compared

In our discussion today we will be comparing the political philosophies of civic republicanism and plutocracy. This discussion was requested by a listener on a recent video.

Basically, the question is do we, meaning primarily the United States, live more under a form of civic republicanism or a plutocracy? Do we lean more towards one or the other? Which model of governance and societal organization aligns best with current day politics?
