Klappentext zu „All of the People, All of the Time “
In the late twentieth century the effectiveness of government in the United States has come under profound strain. The burdens of superpower status have imposed contradictory demands on the populace, testing the national consensus on the ends of government at home and the goals of American power abroad. Partisan competition for the loyalty of the electorate, meanwhile, has eroded popular understanding of the founding principles of the republic. "You cannot", said Lincoln, "fool all of the people all of the time." But today the vitality of the American republic depends as never before on the refusal of its citizens to fool themselves.

Pressezitat
"There is very little wrong with the American political system, considering its flexible durability over the extraordinary history of the republic. Dr. Hodge shows us how the evolution of federal institutions and the triumph of American power in this century are one and the same story. He places the current debate over the means and ends of government in historical context. And he reminds us that a nation conceived in liberty invests great expectations in its citizenry. 'All of the People, All of the Time' is a provocative alternative in a field awash in sterile, owner's manual texts. It is a welcome no-nonsense tool for understanding the intentions, achievements, and perils of American democracy." (Cathal Nolan, Boston University)
