Sommario/riassunto

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Rick Shenkman in his book "Just How Stupid are We? Facing the truth About the American Voter". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Rick Shenkman's book.<br>Shenkman argues that something has gone wrong in American politics (parties blame each other) moreover he says that American democracy is more and more direct but ironically Americans are paying less and less attention. <br>
