Paperback. Zustand: Good. Americans love to hate their government. There is a long tradition of anti-government suspicion that goes back all the way to the founding of the nation. The election of Barack Obama, however, has created one the largest backlashes against government in our history.

Essential - and fun - reading for anyone who wants to understand our political history and our political present, it will help inform the choices we must make about our future.…
