Seldom in America has there been a greater outburst of activism than that following the 2016 elections. Many millions have demonstrated, organized, and contributed to the causes of peace, justice, and good government. Most of them are wasting their time. This short book offers a guide to effective political action. While there are few clear rules of political efficacy, there are ways of doing things that manifestly work better than others.

Autorenporträt
Edward (Ned) Schneier has taught political science at Colgate, Columbia, Johns Hopkins and the City College of New York. His ten previous books include Vote Power (Doubleday, 1974), Congress Today (St. Martin's, 1993), and New York Politics (M.E. Sharpe, 2010). Dr. Schneier has worked in the U. S. Senate and New York State Assembly; been president of Democratic clubs in California, New Jersey and New York; was a part-time lobbyist; and ran for Congress in 1976. In line with a New York political tradition he was a partner in two New York City saloons: Puffy's and Grassroots. The recipient of fellowships from the Brookings Institution, the Fulbright Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, he lives with his wife Margrit in upstate New York.
