Synopsis
Excerpt from The Political Problem
In these great contests all reasonable men agree that incidentally great harm is done to the highest public interests. The highest efforts of our highest public servants, that should be given to the service of the people, are in fact given to the service of persons. The highest public places, which should be filled with men carefully selected with a view only to their fitness for those places, are often virtually bought and sold - for money. The public service lacks efficiency and stability. Public servants lack ability and experience.

The Political Problem (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores the theoretical framework and practical outcomes of the democratic government system implemented in the United States, examining the gap between intended design and real-world results. The author posits that while democratic theory emphasizes the paramount power of individual citizens, in practice, the selection and control of high-ranking public officials has fallen into the hands of professional politicians organized into powerful election machines. The author contends that this shift has created a privileged class of political insiders, obstructing the entry of qualified individuals into public service, curtailing citizens' genuine political agency, and diminishing the government's efficiency. Through an analysis of historical and contemporary evidence, the book underscores the need to reassess existing political structures to restore the balance between democratic ideals and effective governance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330035320_0
