| Summary: | "This book analyzes the problems of U.S. politics and public policy and proposes a solution rooted in a deep American consensus that often goes unrecognized. There exists a general consensus on basic rights and duties that can be used as a foundation for redirecting public policy analysis, debate, and programs. The authors critique three dominant ideological perspectives – conservative, radical, and liberal – which have produced a stalemate. They instead draw selective parts from each perspective and propose an eclectic “outcomes” perspective rooted in American pragmatism."--Publisher description. |
