The Irony Of Reform - Roots Of American Political Disenchantment (Paperback)

Americans are disenchanted with politics, their government, and
their leaders. For evidence, we don't have to look very far: the
elections of 1994 turned over control of Congress for the first
time in 40 years, and the new House Republicans' Contract with
America was the biggest single anti-government initiative since the
Boston Tea Party, with term limits, campaign finance reform, and a
balanced budget amendment high on its list of priorities. But
before Americans climb again on a new bandwagon of government
restructuring, they would do well to listen to Cal Mackenzie's
admonitions in The Irony of Reform. The trouble with contemporary
government, he explains, is not a lack of change or "restructuring"
over the years, but rather the disjointed, inadvertent, and
unpredictable pattern of reform we have followed since World War
II. Mackenzie traces the roots of our current distress, noting that
more tinkering will only lead to more-though perhaps
different-problems. Something much bolder is needed-a new approach
that enables leadership, facilitates coalition building, and
enhances accountability. Mackenzie proposes a cure for the
political ills diagnosed here-a hard and painful cure for a very
crippled body politic.
