Synopsis

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT delivers a unique "perspectives" format within a traditional topic sequence. This short American Government paperback examines all the traditional topics in a non-traditional way, summarizing each topic with four differing viewpoints: liberal, conservative, populist, and libertarian. The result is a text that effectively explains inter-party differences and political complexities, avoiding the artificial liberal-conservative dichotomy presented in other texts.
