The Trouble with America

Flawed Government, Failed Society

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Trouble with America critiques the theory and practice of American government-government too weak to solve our public problems, restrained more in its ability to do good than in its ability to do harm, and grossly unfair to the poor and middle classes. As a result, we Americans find ourselves with poor leadership, inadequate representation, failing policies, and a pathological culture.
