"If We Burn", Vincent Bevins, 2023. Wherein he attempts to answer the question, 'How come, after 2010-2020 saw more mass protests than any point in history, things got worse': 
"No media distortion, no focus on empty spectacle, no twisted corporate agenda is required to generate the feeling that politicians do not fully represent their constituents. By all accounts, they do not. There is widespread agreement that the political systems in advanced societies have become distant from the sovereign people that putatively grant them their power. In the United States. so often a default reference point for liberal politicians in Latin America and the rest of the Global South, one famous study indicated that "economic elites and organized interest groups play a substantial part in affecting public policy, but the general public has little or no independent influence." Researchers at Princeton and Northwestern Universities found that the preferences of average citizens have almost no influence on the form of government, unless wealthy actors and powerful interest groups want the same thing."
