Description:
This book explores the decline in public trust in government, and the efforts of the public to use the powers of democratic governing to improve the lives of people -- especially people who require such government intervention.
Expand description
It focuses on the debate over government size and the role of the public sector, with a look at the implications of unqualified disdain for politics, institutions, public servants, elected officials, and the very process of democracy itself. A look at the key and current issues helps expose the anti-democratic sentiments that underlie much conservative criticism of government size.
