Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Arguing that government can and should be an agent for economic progress and social change, a columnist for New York magazine presents a reasoned study of the real responsibilities of government and offers a new vision of a limited but activist political system. 20,000 very first printing.
Amazon.com Review:
In his defense of the value of a relatively strong public sector, Jacob Weisberg, a political columnist for New York magazine and contributing editor of The New Republic, assigns blame to both ends of the political spectrum for the public's loss of faith in government, finding fault with conservatives for their hypocrisy and liberals for their elitism and racism. Like a number of writers before him, including John B. Judis (Grand Illusion), Michael Lind (The Next American Nation) and E. J. Dionne Jr. (They Only Look Dead), Weisberg offers early 20th-century Progressive Herbert Croly as a guide to reviving a sense of 'nationalist fellow feeling.'
