- Summary:
- America's political system has never been more polarized-or paralyzed-than it is today. What can we do to break through the two-party gridlock? In this incisive book, best-selling author and public policy expert Charles Wheelan proposes that the time is ripe for a third party, the Centrist Party, that will stand up to the counterproductive partisan posturing-and then goes on to show how the Centrist Party can succeed.
