American democracy subverted by special interests, says U.S. political scientist

NEW YORK, July 2 — American democracy has been completely subverted by special interests and is “coin-operated” and controlled by money, Ian Bremmer, president and founder of Eurasia Group and GZero Media, has said.

Speaking on the risks America poses to the world in an edited transcript of “The Ezra Klein Show” published by The New York Times last month, Bremmer said many Americans feel trapped in a two-tier system, believing that the rules do not apply equally and that they cannot secure what they want for their families.
