Farnsworth pinpoints this disappointment to shifting expectations of what, exactly, government should do. Politicians were once expected to maintain economic growth, but in our post-scarcity era most citizens expect them to provide services - such as welfare or environmental -that are often contentious. Enlarging the scope of local political empowerment will increase public support by making politics more approachable and responsive.Legitimacy of governmentsUnited StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesPolitical leadershipUnited StatesPublic opinionPolitical participationUnited StatesPublic opinionUnited StatesUnited StatesPolitics and government2001-Legitimacy of governmentsPolitical culturePolitical leadershipPublic opinion.Political participationPublic opinion320.973Farnsworth Stephen J.1961-1796463DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910961973103321Political support in a frustrated America4338236UNINA
