Reviews

This is a provocative and wide-ranging meditation on a vital question: What would a society that embodied the vision of the left actually look like? To imagine that future, Bernd Reiter turns to the past, examining twenty-two cases where citizens were able to achieve levels of self-governance and equality that are very far from the reality in today's elite-dominated societies. -- Jacob S. Hacker, Professor of Political Science. Yale University; co-author of Winner-Take-All Politics and American Amnesia
