Sommario/riassunto

An antidote to Tea Party anger, this book examines ten aspects of American life - from education to communication, from housing to health - and demonstrates, in engaging well-written essays by some of the nation's foremost scholars, that the federal government plays a central role in making our society function, and it always has.
