The Thinkers (eBook, PDF)

The Rise of Partisan Think Tanks and the Polarization of American Politics

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In The Thinkers, E.J. Fagan tells the story of how partisan think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and Center for American Progress displaced non-partisan experts to become the closest policy advisors to the Republican and Democratic Parties. He explores their history, how they influence policymakers, and how their influence impacts the polarization of American politics. A powerful account of the impact of partisan think tanks on American democracy, The Thinkers will reshape our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the US's polarized political system.
