10 Steps to Repair American Democracy: A More Perfect Union - Tapa blanda

Praise for the New Edition:

“I have used Hill’s book from the day it was published. Given the time constraints in an introductory U.S. government course, I cannot imagine doing justice to the topic of repairing our ailing democracy without Hill’s masterful, clearly explained summary of the American political system and what we as a polity need to do to bring it back to health. The revised introduction in the new edition is alone worth the price of the book. Hill tackles in a systematic way the entire range of ills afflicting our political process and how to fix them.”
―Elena V. Dorabji, San Jose State University

―Jim Hightower, columnist and author of Swim against the Current

“Steven Hill’s new book is as practical as it is insightful, offering innovative ways to fix our broken political system. It’s an inspiring blueprint for reclaiming America. Read it, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.”
