A Bold Call To Reclaim An American Tradition That Argues The Constitution Imposes A Duty On Government To Fight Oligarchy And Ensure Broadly Shared Wealth.Oligarchy Is A Threat To The American Republic. When Too Much Economic And Political Power Is Concentrated In Too Few Hands, We Risk Losing The ?Epublican Form Of Government?The Constitution Requires. Today, Courts Enforce The Constitution As If It Had Almost Nothing To Say About This Threat. But As Joseph Fishkin And William Forbath Show In This Revolutionary Retelling Of Constitutional History, A Commitment To Prevent Oligarchy Once Stood At The Center Of A Robust Tradition In American Political And Constitutional Thought.Fishkin And Forbath Demonstrate That Reformers, Legislators, And Even Judges Working In This ?Emocracyofopportunity?Tradition Understood That The Constitution Imposes A Duty On Legislatures To Thwart Oligarchy And Promote A Broad Distribution Of Wealth And Political Power. These Ideas Led Jacksonians To Fight Special Economic Privileges For The Few, Populists To Try To Break Up Monopoly Power, And Progressives To Fight For The Constitutional Right To Form A Union. During Reconstruction, Radical Republicans Argued In This Tradition That Racial Equality Required Breaking Up The Oligarchy Of The Slave Power And Distributing Wealth And Opportunity To Former Slaves And Their Descendants. President Franklin Roosevelt And The New Dealers Built Their Politics Around This Tradition, Winning The Fight Against The ?Conomic Royalists?And ?Ndustrial Despots.?Ut Today, As We Enter A New Gilded Age, This Tradition In Progressive American Economic And Political Thought Lies Dormant. The Antioligarchy Constitution Begins The Work Of Recovering It And Exploring Its Profound Implications For Our Deeply Unequal Society And Badly Damaged Democracy.
