 Looks like that's a new country. It's actually a thing, and they're going to last for a while. And so Tocqueville, in the 1830s, decides to come and be a travel reporter. He decides to explain to Europeans what America is. And I think Democracy in America is one of the most fascinating books ever, and yet the history professor of my soul knows it's a terrible thing to just assign to kids straight up, start reading this 1,500-page tome, because it's so long-winded and it's so repetitive. And that's because it's not meant to be a book.
