Understanding U S Politics: A Primer for Nonvoters (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780997410419)

If you are one of the many who are repelled by the polarized stalemate that has set in on our politics, this book was written for you. It begins with the common sense of politics and the very different common sense beliefs that conservative and liberal partisans carry around with them; especially those outdated beliefs about economics and morality that they disagree about so much. It's all written without taking sides in their endless arguing and name calling. The book goes on to explain the workings of the contemporary political scene emphasizing: 1. The industry of professional political consulting that has taken over, 2. The critical problems that the reliance upon video media have brought to our politics, 3. The emphasis on personalities and the relegation of all issues into the deep ruts of unreasoning right and left ideology. In the course of the discussion readers can even determine where they might want to weigh in themselves and help change things.
