In "Edge of Chaos," she explains why stagnating wages and widening inequality fuel radical political shifts, and asserts that the survival of democracy depends on aggressive overhaul of its economic policies. Her blueprint seeks to jump‑start growth while safeguarding democratic stability in the twenty‑first century.
