  • Democracy in Power - A History of Electrification in the United States - cover

    Democracy in Power - A History...

    Private money, public good, and the original fight for control of America’s energy industry.
     
    Until the 1930s, financial interests dominated electrical power in the United States. That changed with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal which restructured the industry. The government expanded public ownership, famously through the Tennessee Valley Authority, and promoted a new kind of utility: the rural electric cooperative that brought light and power to millions in the countryside. Since then, public and cooperative utilities have persisted as an alternative to shareholder control. Democracy in Power traces the rise of publicly governed utilities in the twentieth-century electrification of America.
     
    Sandeep Vaheesan shows that the path to accountability in America’s power sector was beset by bureaucratic challenges and fierce private resistance. Through a detailed and critical examination of this evolution, Vaheesan offers a blueprint for a publicly led and managed path to decarbonization. Democracy in Power is at once an essential history, a deeply relevant accounting of successes and failures, and a guide on how to avoid repeating past mistakes.

    Unravel the mysterious patterns governing human civilization across millennia. This mind-expanding journey explores how historical events repeat in predictable cycles that seem impossible to break. From information revolutions to civilizational collapse, discover why humanity seems trapped in eternal loops of rise and fall. Learn from ancient philosophers who understood eternal return, modern historians who identified patterns in twenty-one civilizations, and consciousness researchers exploring how awareness itself might be cyclical. Discover the Library of Alexandria burning then and burning now through digital fragmentation. Understand Arnold Toynbee's creative minorities, Nietzsche's eternal return, and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's noosphere. This exploration suggests we're not doomed to repetition but invited to consciously participate in evolution's next phase through awareness of the patterns themselves.
