Editorial Review: Product Description: A majority of Americans tell pollsters they want more government intervention to reduce the gap between high- and lower-income citizens, and less than one-third consider high taxes to be a problem. Yet conservative Republicanism currently controls the political discourse. Why? Rick Perlstein probes this central paradox of today's political scene in his penetrating pamphlet. Perlstein explains how the Democrats' obsessive short-term focus on winning "swing voters," instead of cultivating loyal party-liners, has relegated Democrats to political stagnation. Perlstein offers a vigorous critique and far-reaching vision that is a thirty-year plan for Democratic victory. Contributors: William A. Galston Adolph Reed, Jr. Ruy Teixeira Dan Carol Daniel Cantor Robert B. Reich Michael C. Dawson Elaine Kamarck Richard Delgado Stanley Aronowitz Philip Klinkner Larry M. Bartels Average Rating:
 Rating: - an insightful round-table discussionThe pamphlet consists of Perlstein's provocative, even gripping, essay on how to rebuild the Democratic Party's brand image (not to mention the nation) with a long-term populist program; short responses from various luminaries along the left-of-center spectrum; and a closing summary by the author. The format works and the net effect is inspiring. Buy this book, read it in an hour, and pass it on. Browse for similar items by category:
