1. His Democracy Incorporated is...

...a key work to understand politics today. He will be missed.

2. We are lucky to have lived in the same time as Sheldon Wolin.

He warned us:

Wolin throughout his scholarship charted the devolution of American democracy and in his last book, “Democracy Incorporated,” details our peculiar form of corporate totalitarianism. “One cannot point to any national institution[s] that can accurately be described as democratic,” he writes in that book, “surely not in the highly managed, money-saturated elections, the lobby-infested Congress, the imperial presidency, the class-biased judicial and penal system, or, least of all, the media.” -- Chris Hedges from OP: http://www.commondreams.org/views/2015/11/02/sheldon-wolin-and-inverted-totalitarianism
