The State And Democracy Revitalizing America's Government

Corporate domination of public policy during the Reagan years resulted not only in increasing inequality and deteriorating living standards for millions of Americans but in a diminution in the capacity of government to solve basic problems that are not amenable to market-oriented solutions. The authors of The State and Democracy (originally published in 1988) propose a new public philosophy for America: one which comprises communitarian values; governments at all levels which actively pursue the public interest; a participatory political culture; and a democratic accountable process of public choice. Because of the authors’ extensive experience both inside and outside government they offer a fresh interdisciplinary perspective based not only on extensive research and study but also on first-hand experience. |The State and Democracy Revitalizing America's Government
