Building on the arguments of Fiorina’s acclaimed Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America, this book explains how contemporary politics differs from that of previous eras and considers what might be done to overcome the unproductive politics of recent decades. Drawing on polling results and other data, Fiorina examines the disconnect between an unrepresentative “political class” and the citizenry it purports to represent, showing how politicians have become more polarized while voters remain moderate; how politicians’ rhetoric and activities reflect hot-button issues that are not public priorities; and how politicians’ dogmatic, divisive, and uncivil style of “debate” contrasts with the more civil discourse of ordinary Americans, who tend to be more polite and open to compromise than their leaders.
Disconnect depicts politicians out of touch with the larger public, distorting issues and information to appeal to narrow interest groups. It can help readers better understand the political divide between leaders and the American public—and help steer a course for change.

Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality cover. 249 pages. The author argues that the political class foments unnecessary conflicts to maintain partisan advantage-whereas the electorate is far less divided than the media would have us believe. He shows that Americans share much more common ground than is generally believed, and the real locus of extremism is within the political class itself. Clean, fresh, tight and bright. A very nice copy. Codice articolo 0004484
