Something is clearly rotten in our Republic. Americans have lost faith in their politicians to a greater degree than ever, resigning themselves to the best Congress money can buy, as the comic Will Rogers once put it. It doesnt matter whether they are Democrats or Republicans, people are disillusioned and angry as hell. They feel like outsiders in their own nation, powerless over their own lives, blocked from having a real voice in how they are governed.
But all of this can changewe have the power. Lawrence Lessig, the renowned Harvard Law School professor, political activist, and author of the bestselling Republic, Lost, presents a clear-eyed, bipartisan manifesto for revolution just when we need it the most. One Way Forward is a rousing, eloquent, and ultimately optimistic call to action for Americans of all political persuasions. Notable in these viciously partisan times, Lessig pitches his address equally to Occupy Wall Streeters, Tea Party Patriots, independents, anarchists, and baffled citizens of the American middle. Despite our serious political differences, he argues, we canand mustchange the system for the better.
At the core of our government, Lessig says, is a legal corruption. In other words: money. The job of politics has been left to a tiny slice of Americans who dominate campaign finance and exert a disproportionate influence on lawgivers as a result. This, he writes, is a dynamic that would be obvious to Tony Soprano or Michael Corleone but that is sometimes obscure to political scientists: a protection racket that flourishes while our Republic burns.
We dont need to destroy wealth, Lessig declares. We need to destroy the ability of wealth to corrupt our politics.
With the common-sense idealism of his hero, Henry David Thoreau, Lessig shows how Americans can take back their country, and he provides a concrete and surprisingly practical set of instructions for doing it.
In a season where Americans are poised between the hope for real change and the fear that, once again, they wont get it, One Way Forward charts a course to a thrillingly new American future in which every citizen has a voice that matters, no matter how fat his or her wallet.

چیزی به وضوح در جمهوری ما پوسیده است. آمریکاییها بیش از هر زمان دیگری به سیاستمداران خود ایمان خود را از دست دادهاند و به قول ویل راجرز کمدی خود را به بهترین پول کنگره میدهند. فرقی نمی کند دموکرات باشند یا جمهوری خواه، مردم سرخورده و عصبانی هستند. آنها احساس میکنند که در کشور خود بیگانههایی هستند، در زندگی خود ناتوان هستند، از داشتن صدای واقعی در نحوه اداره کردنشان ممانعت میکنند.
اما همه اینها میتوانند تغییر دهند، ما این قدرت را داریم. لارنس لسیگ، استاد مشهور دانشکده حقوق هاروارد، فعال سیاسی، و نویسنده کتاب پرفروش جمهوری، گمشده، مانیفست شفاف و دو حزبی برای انقلاب را درست زمانی که ما به آن بیشتر نیاز داریم ارائه می دهد.
