The parties versus the people
Book • 2012
In 'The Parties Versus the People', Mickey Edwards argues that the current political system in the U.S.
is dysfunctional due to the dominance of party interests over national interests.
He proposes reforms to reduce partisanship and increase citizen involvement in the political process.
Edwards draws on his experience as a congressman to illustrate how party control over primaries and electoral districts contributes to political gridlock.
