Using DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA as his model, acclaimed British and South African journalist David Cohen retraces Alexis de Tocquelville's journey around America to observe how the balance between the rich and the poor has changed over the last 150 years. Travelling from New York to the Ohio River Valley, the deep South, California and finally to Washington DC, Cohen captures an America where inequality is balanced by unquenchable hope.
