Popular distrust and the entrenchment of government by professionals lie at the root of America's most pressing political problems. This characterization of contemporary American politics stems from the transformations brought about from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Schier and Eberly's system-level view of American politics demonstrates the disconnect between an increasingly polarized and partisan elite and an increasingly disaffected mass public.
