- Summary:
- In a world of sound bites, deliberate misinformation, and a political scene that is colored by stridency and the blue-versus-red partisan divide, how does the average educated American find a reliable source that's tree of political spin? What You Should Know About Politics ... But Don't breaks it all down, issue by issue, explaining who stands for what, and why-whether it's the economy, social issues, health care, foreign policy, education, immigration, or climate change. If you're a Democrat, a Republican, or somewhere in between, it's the perfect book to brush up on a single topic or read through to get a deeper understanding of the often murky world of American politics. This is an essential volume for understanding the background to the 2016 presidential election. But this is also a book that transcends the season. It's truly for anyone who wants to know more about the issues, which are perennial ones that will continue to affect our everyday lives. This edition includes an introduction by Naomi Wolf discussing the themes and issues that have come to the fore during the present presidential cycle. Book jacket.
