More equality, more fairness, more opportunity--these are themes on
which progressives, now more than ever, could win elections and
build social movements. Yet American progressives too seldom have
put themselves in a position to capture the loyalty of American
voters. In his newest book, Domhoff explains why the left's
political strategies have failed, and he calls for new strategies
and alliances that will lead to political success and a better
America. Sure to be widely read and debated, the book reveals how
campaigns by Nader and other third-party progressives have been
misguided. Domhoff explains how and why third-party candidacies
fail because of the structure of the political system, and then
presents a new way for progressives to enter the political arena
without compromising their basic values or their emphasis on
participation in social movements. He shows how "planning through
the market" holds more potential for freedom and fairness than
centrally planned economies. He also shows how progressives can
redefine who is "us" and who is "them" in a way that is more
inclusive, allowing people across the class spectrum to support a
renewed egalitarian vision.Accessible to anyone interested in
American politics and policies, this book offers the political
application of Domhoff's renowned theories of American power. For
those who want to spark a dialogue in discussion groups, it is a
lively companion reading to his "Who Rules America" as well as
other books on power, inequality or government in America.
