- Summary:
- Stone (government, Dartmouth College) begins this update of the 2002 edition with a story of her childhood encounter with "the policy paradox," rampant in political life, when ordinary rules don't stop bullies or help victims. For example, President Obama's legislative victories have been turned into political liabilities by conservatives. Contrasting her model of the polis (political society) with the market model, she presents a rationality policy framework that encompasses a goal, problem, discrepancy between the goal and reality, and solutions. Cartoons reinforce her points. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
