Nadia Urbinati diagnoses the ills besetting the body politic and offers a defense of the messy compromises that define democracy. She focuses less on democracy’s enemies than on those who pose as its friends: technocrats, partisan demagogues, and media operatives who turn governance into a spectator sport of winners, losers, and fans.
