People think in more than one dimension.
This book takes a seeming contradiction and demonstrates there is considerable coherence to what others have dismissed as noise. After years of listening to politicians tell us what the American people think about government, it is a welcome event when two first-rate social scientists systematically find out the answer. Scholars will pore over the data and analyses in this book for years to come. What many Americans say about the government in general is often at odds with what they say they want it to do in specific areas. Based on a comprehensive national survey, their new book is being published by the Woodrow Wilson Center Press and will be released in early September.
