Democracy Unbound: Progressive Challenges to the Two Party System [Paperback]

David Reynolds (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

The millions of people who voted for Ross Perot, Jesse Jackson, and Ralph Nader displayed more than momentary frustration, they are a sign of the growing movement to challenge the two party system. David Reynolds' Democracy Unbound explains how grassroots activists are translating mass discontent into new people-driven parties. Democracy Unbound is the first and only book to look beyond the superficial media coverage of Ross Perot to the real movement for fundamental change. Democracy Unbound is a much needed and valued contribution to the national political dialogue. Democracy Unbound is essential reading for anyone studying the role of third party movements and the political reforms upon which they are founded. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Democracy Unbound: Progressive Challenges to the Two Party System (Paperback)

Democracy Unbound accurately characterizes the current mood and optimism of progressive parties. Progressive parties and movements are filled with people working to create an alternative vision for the future, a necessary complement to the single-issue activism that dominates today's politics. I sit on the national council of the Greens/Green Party USA and would recommend this book to those ready to get involved in transforming our politics to create a stronger democracy.
