Title: TIDES OF CONSENT: HOW PUBLIC OPINION SHAPES AMERICAN POLITICS
Description: "Politics is a trial in which those in government - and those who aspire to serve - make proposals, debate alternatives, and pass laws. Then the jury of public opinion decides. It likes the proposals or actions or it does not. It trusts the actors or it doesn't. It moves, always at the margin, and then those who benefit from the movement are declared winners. This book is about that public opinion response."--BOOK JACKET.
