Lindsay is joined by author and fellow podcaster Michael C. Anderson to discuss his latest work, “America’s Counterfeit Democracy: Rule of the Power Elite,” which was published on September 2, 2024 by Simms Books Publishing Corporation.

Michael Anderson writes an ancient history blog (2008) and political discussion blog (2017). In this politically charged era, Michael delves into how the political rights of the public have been sidelined in pursuit of elite goals. He outlines how affluent families, in collaboration with major corporations, have bolstered their grip on the federal government, displayed authoritarian tendencies, and utilized their media influence to foster political oppression. Nowadays, the elites rely on the major media conglomerates to sway government actions. Furthermore, the right to vote has been eroded by the elite’s control over candidate selection and funding.

Anderson has authored four previous books: Twilight of the American Experiment, Without Moral Balance Our Republic Will Fall (2023), The Conservative Gene, How Genetics Shape the Complex Morality of Conservatives (2021), Tribalism: The Curse of 21st Century America (2019), The Progressive Gene, How Genetics Influences the Morality of the Left (2017).
