Summary

A forceful and provocative exploration of the political process in America, THE GOVERNING CRISIS organizes its critique around the themes of media, money, and marketing. Bennett then takes students beyond analysis by making recommendations for reform, and by making clear to students the impact of the text's subject on their daily lives.
