Democracy in America Is a Series of Narrow Escapes, and We May Be Running Out of Luck The following is an excerpt from Bill Moyers' new book, "Moyers on Democracy". Democracy in America is a series of narrow escapes, and we may be running out of luck. The reigning presumption about the American experience, as the historian Lawrence Goodwyn has written, is grounded in the idea of progress, the conviction that the present is "better" than the past and the future will bring even more improvement. For all of its shortcomings, we keep telling ourselves, "The system works."
