Conclusion. 330 $aIn 2011, Lawrence Davidson founded his website, tothepointanalyses.com, as a home for his brief essays on contemporary issues touching on US domestic and foreign policy. Over the last few years, Davidson's analytic reflections on contemporary politics have garnered over six million views. Now, for the first time, these essays are collected together to form a coherent, punchy look at American Politics in 2018. Contextualized by a new prologue and new conclusion, as well as updated with new material throughout, these essays provide a cogent demonstration of the power of analytical thinking to create clear and understandable descriptions of issues that impact us all, but are most often obfuscated by propaganda, lying by omission, or other forms of distortion. For those who encounter this work, it is hoped that they will come away with a clearer, if not happier, idea of what sort of world we are all living in. . 410 0$aCritical Political Theory and Radical Practice,$x2731-6599 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a320 700 $aDavidson$b Lawrence$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0662149 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910338038303321 996 $aEssays Reflecting the Art of Political and Social Analysis$92528158 997 $aUNINA
