The Politics of Power: A Critical Introduction to American Government - Hardcover

9780155707467: The Politics of Power: A Critical Introduction to American Government

Synopsis

This is a critical analysis of contemporary American political institutions. Emphasizes the structure of society and the power relationships between corporate capitalism and the government. Covers all the standard topics in the course - the justice system, the workings of Congress, the political parties, elections, the executive branch, the power of the president - but primarily in the context of the fundamental inequalities that exist among groups in our society. This edition offers greater readability, a more pragmatic approach to problems, updated and expanded discussions of foreign policy, economic policy, labour, race relations and the welfare state.
