The Hollow Parties is a comprehensive history of the United States from the Founding to the present, exploring the void at the center of America's political parties. Featured on The Ezra Klein Show and The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, the book delves into the state of contemporary parties, which are characterized by polarization, power struggles, and a lack of civic engagement.
The Hollow Parties traces the origins of mass party politics in the Jacksonian era and highlights the contributions of figures such as Martin Van Buren, who pioneered the machinery of the mass political party. It also explores the heroic Republicans of the first generation who stood up to the Slave Power, including Abraham Lincoln.
The book argues that today's fractious party politics emerged from the ashes of the New Deal order in the 1970s, as activists in the wake of the 1968 Democratic National Convention transformed presidential nominations but failed to lay the foundations for robust, movement-driven parties. Instead, modern American conservatism hollowed out the party system, deeming it a mere instrument for power.
Party hollowness lies at the heart of our democratic discontents. The Hollow Parties offers powerful answers to pressing questions about how the nations parties became so dysfunctional and how they might yet realize their promise. The book provides a historical sweep and political acuity, offering a roadmap for rebuilding and revitalizing America's political parties.
