The Government We Deserve Responsive Democracy and Changing Expectations

The Government We Deserve offers a truly fresh perspective on the most important issues in American government and economic policy. The authors examine the state of the nation through hardheaded, detailed snapshots of our national economy, our population, our government, and our political process. They propose a fundamental rethinking of our commitments as a society, our public responsibilities, and our processes for making policy choices -- a rethinking that can help make government more responsive to changing expectations and changing needs.
