Is democracy in decline or danger? The Catalyst takes on this question in the fall edition.

 The fall edition of The Catalyst: A Journal of Ideas from the Bush Institute looks at the debate over the health of democracy in the U.S. and abroad. Some feel amidst their economic struggles that democracy doesn’t deliver them a shot at a decent living. And surveys show a declining trust in institutions like business and the media.  Still others contend America has faced far more challenging moments, such as the Great Depression and world wars, and emerged a stronger nation. 

The Catalyst takes on the contours of this debate with contributions from leading policymakers, Bush Institute experts, and respected journalists. The list includes Condoleezza Rice, William Galston, and  Kenneth Hersh, and we are pleased that some of these pieces were prominently published in a recent Dallas Morning News Sunday Points section.
