Jason Grumet

City of Rivals

Restoring the Glorious Mess of American Democracy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An essential book that operates as a diagnosis of Congress's failures and a blueprint for its, and America's, future, from the president of The Bipartisan Council. The first truly bipartisan book about the partisan gridlock that has paralyzed our government and how the answer lies in channelling and harnessing the partisanship, not spinning in its mud. Unlike so many "Washington is Broken" books, it offers a real way forward.
