Peter Carey, author of "Parrot and Olivier in America," talks about how the main character Olivier, based on Alexis de Tocqueville, was concerned about how a culture can be well-maintained in a capitalist democracy and that it can be both a good and bad thing that anybody can be President.  The full interview from a 2010 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" can be heard now wherever you get your podcasts.
