The Angry American: How Voter Rage Is Changing the Nation (Dilemmas in American Politics)
( The Contract with America. The Oklahoma City bombing. R...)
The Contract with America. The Oklahoma City bombing. Rave receptions for the likes of Rush Limbaugh and G. Gordon Liddy. The budget shutdown in Washington. The Million Man March. Isolated events, or is there some connecting thread? Susan Tolchin says it’s angermainstream, inclusive, legitimate public angerand it’s not going to vanish until we as a polity acknowledge it and harness its power.How to tap into this pervasive political anger and release its creative energy without being swept away by its force is the dilemma of the 1990s for government leaders and citizens alike. This timely volume outlines the history, causes, and consequences of anger in American politics today and embraces positive solutions to problems we are all entitled to be angry about: economic uncertainty, cultural divisiveness, political disintegration, and a world changing faster than our ability to assimilate. Tolchin’s solutions incorporate a renewed sense of community, enhanced political access, and responsive rather than reactive government.

Pinstripe Patronage: Political Favoritism from the Clubhouse to the White House and Beyond
(Is political patronage the dark underbelly of American po...)
Is political patronage the dark underbelly of American politics, whose practitioners are fortunate to keep one step ahead of the sheriff? Or is it an essential ingredient of effective governance, rewarding and cementing loyalty while greasing the gears of government? Political patronage―awarding discretionary favors in exchange for political support―is alive and well in twenty-first-century America. But patronage has changed. Instead of the Christmas turkey, political leaders now reward political supporters with billion-dollar contracts, and they have outsourced everything from garbage collection to national security. This new landscape is what the Tolchins call “pinstripe patronage,” and it includes the privatization of services previously conducted by government; earmarks, which are government grants specified for the use of an individual, corporation, or community; and the expansion of hybrid agencies, with highly paid salaries for top executives. “Pinstripe patronage” benefits those more at home in a boardroom than an assembly line, and it often affects foreign policy more than domestic policy. The patronage system is the way that things have worked for a long time―in politics and government, the business community, and even in families. But in the wake of travesties in Iraq, Afghanistan, and on the world economic scene, seasoned political writers Susan and Marty Tolchin contend it may be time to trade pinstripes for prison stripes and to snap some suspenders.

Glass Houses: Congressional Ethics And The Politics Of Venom
( Newt Gingrich, the Ghengis Khan of recent American poli...)
Newt Gingrich, the Ghengis Khan of recent American politics, wrenched the humdrum Congressional ethics process out of its lethargy and turned it into an offensive tool for partisan gain. Now, instead of yawning, lawmakers quake at the thought of an ethics inquiry that can easily, often unfairly, tip elections and ruin careers. While members of the House and Senate confront the public's changing attitudes toward money, sex, and power, they are also forced to raise ever-escalating sums to finance their campaigns. Practices tolerated a decade ago now may cost lawmakers their seats or land them in jail. Lawmakers often don't know if they live in Salem or Gomorrah. Using new information culled from dozens of Capitol Hill interviews, Sue and Marty Tolchin show how ethics in Washington have changed over two centuries while offering new interpretations of past ethics cases. The first book to analyse the politicization of the ethics process, Glass Houses reveals in wicked and telling detail the forces that drive the modern lawmaker into a maelstrom of fierce corruption battles.
