Senator Michael Bennet lifts a veil on the inner workings of Congress to reveal, in his words, 'through a series of actual stories--about the people, the politics, the motives, the money, the hypocrisy, the stakes, the outcome--the pathological culture of the capital and the consequences for us all.' [...] With frankness and refreshing candor, and in elegant prose, Bennet pulls the machinations behind these episodes into full public view, shedding vital new light on our political dysfunction today. Arguing that each of us has a duty to act as a founder, he will inspire Americans of all political persuasions to demand that the 'winners' of our political battles be all the American people, nor one party or the other."--Amazon website. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Polarization (Social sciences) $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Civil society $z United States. 941 $a 7 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240702032935.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054348.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728012757.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062039.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010402.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402013815.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013447.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB5E0C2A9C8E11E981649E3E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
