Editorial Reviews
Review
...something of a budget nerd's tract. Yet the numbers and details presented here do much to reveal why most of us are more likely to choke with rage than affection when the tax man comes around. -- The Wall Street Journal, Amity Shlaes
Product Description
Contributes to the debate about government's place in U.S. society with the following argument: Before buying into anyone's vision of where public policy should go, we must think seriously about where we are now. This includes our economic and social structure, our government as a prominent feature of that landscape, and the way we currently make political decisions. The authors' views of where we are now lead them to propose a rethinking of our commitments as a society, our public responsibilities, and our processes for making big policy choices--a rethinking that can help make government more responsive to changing expectations and changing needs. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
