His clear writing style and probing analysis helps to clarify some of the confusing trends we see in American politics today. He is particularly adept at sweeping away much of the "political noise" that often dominates the political headlines of the day. The author has consulted many policy makers in and outside of Washington to gain fresh insights to better understand the American political system. He has found an interesting dichotomy. Those experts inside the system believe it is capable of effectively dealing with current problems and their long term consequences. Experts outside the beltway are much more pessimistic. Both the experts and those seeking to gain a better insight into the American political system will welcome the author’s thoughtful analysis and balanced approach to today’s political challenges.voir moins
