迪克·辛普森（Dick Simpson）利用他作为立法者、竞选策略师和政府顾问的50年职业生涯，审视了美国人在将美国建设成一个多种族、多民族民主国家的斗争中所面临的挑战。辛普森以芝加哥为例，考察了分裂国家的政治、种族、经济和社会不平等在我们的社区和城市中的表现。他对当前危机及其原因的调查深入探讨了政治中的金钱、选民参与率低、怨恨政治、政治腐败和一系列结构性问题。但民主的重生超越了分析。辛普森提出了一个冷静、务实的宣言，旨在激励世界各地的人们进行自我教育，并努力创造一种强大的制度，让真正的民主得以繁荣。
Democracy’s Rebirth: The View from Chicago
Dick Simpson draws upon his fifty-year career as a legislator, campaign strategist, and government advisor to examine the challenges confronting Americans in their struggle to build the United States as a multiracial, multiethnic democracy. Using Chicago as an example, Simpson examines how the political, racial, economic, and social inequalities dividing the nation play out in our neighborhoods and cities. His investigation of our current crisis and its causes delves into issues like money in politics, low voter participation, the politics of resentment, political corruption, and a host of structural problems. But Democracy’s Rebirth goes beyond analysis. Simpson lays out a sober, practical manifesto meant to inspire people everywhere to educate themselves and do the hard work of creating the kind of strong institutions that will allow true democracy to flourish.
