Beschreibung

Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 430, [2] p. Tables. Notes. Index. Americans, by and large, have rejected the political process. They resent politicians, don't vote, and distrust government. An illuminating book that explains why the American political system is foundering; why most Americans have lost interest in participating; and how we may breathe vitality back into our public life. From Wikipedia: "Eugene Joseph "E. J." Dionne, Jr. (born April 23, 1952) is an American journalist and political commentator, and a long-time op-ed columnist for The Washington Post. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, a University Professor at the McCourt School of Public Policy, and an NPR, MSNBC, and PBS commentator. Dionne's published works include the influential 1991 bestseller Why Americans Hate Politics, which argued that several decades of political polarization was alienating a silent centrist majority. It was characterized as radical centrist by Time magazine." Very good in very good dust jacket. Price clipped. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 70005
