Summary
The 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination contest was unique in recent American history in that multiple candidates explicitly embraced social democracy and, in Bernie Sanders’ case, even outright socialism. Given the political importance of social democracy in many other Western economies, it seems curious that it has not played a significant role in American politics up to now. Various explanations have been offered for that failure, but one especially provocative explanation for it is the success of the American public corporation.
