Before buying into anyone's vision of where public policy should go, we must think seriously about where we are now. This includes our economic and social structure, our government as a prominent feature of that landscape, and the way we currently make political decisions. The authors' views of where we are now lead them to propose a rethinking of our commitments as a society, our public responsibilities, and our processes for making policy choices--a rethinking that can help make government more responsive to changing expectations and changing needs.
Perfect for college classrooms tired of the same old thing!

This book is a wonderful new view of government in the United States. Unlike the typical cynicism filled book that points out all problems in our society stemming from our government, this book makes specific recommendations to our government. Instead of sitting back and complaining, these authors tell us exactly what needs to be done! This book is very refreshing and will fit in a college, or even an AP High School Government classroom, perfectly. Students have a wonderful opportunity to evaluate their reccomendations, come up with their own, and examine the problems raised b the authors.
