Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Politics on a Human Scale, Jeff Taylor examines political decentralization in the United States, including agrarianism, states' rights, the abandonment of the decentralist impulse by the national leadership of the Democratic and Republican parties, and the dissident tradition on the contemporary political scene. Covering the subject with breadth and depth-from the founding of the republic to the present-the book will be of value to those interested in political science, history, and American culture. |
