Description

This scholarly collection by Benjamin Ginsberg examines the harsh realities underlying modern American politics, exposing how self-interest, war, violence, deception and institutional failure shape the political landscape. Ginsberg argues that the civic engagement, representative government and principled discourse we imagine in politics rest on a fragile foundation concealing darker truths. Through a series of analytical chapters, the book challenges conventional perspectives on political life by revealing the gap between the political world we prefer to believe in and the unpleasant realities that actually govern it. Essential reading for students, academics and citizens seeking to understand the structural failures and moral compromises embedded in contemporary political systems.
