“The economic system that the United States has is an evil empire. It's an economic system that's not fair, not just, and it's not democratic. And it will fall just like communism fell.

“There are two outstanding issues in democratic politics these days. One is the relationship with the media, which is now 24/7, and operates with a completely different intensity than even 15 or 20 years ago. How do we have a proper conversation between leaders and country when it's moderated sometimes in a very partisan and inflammatory way? And the second thing is the effectiveness of our democracy. How do we get the right gene and talent pool in politics?” WayYearsTwoDifferentCountrySometimesLeaderDemocracyIssuesTalentMediaConversationYears AgoDemocraticThese DaysIntensityPoolGenesEffectivenessOutstandingPartisans Author:Tony Blair
