Ian Shapiro makes a compelling case that the overriding purpose of
politics should be to combat domination. Moreover, he shows how to
put resistance to domination into practice at home and abroad. This
is a major work of applied political theory, a profound challenge
to utopian visions, and a guide to fundamental problems of justice
and distribution. "Shapiro's insights are trenchant, especially
with regards to the Citizens United decision, and his counsel on
how the 'status-quo bias' in national political institutions favors
the privileged. After more than a decade of imperial overreach, his
restrained account of foreign policy should likewise find support."
-Scott A. Lucas, Los Angeles Review of Books "Shapiro has a brief
and compelling section on the importance of hope in his first
chapter. This book enacts and encourages hope, with its analytical
clarity, deep engagement of complicated political issues that
resist easy theorizing, and emphasis on the politically possible."
-Kathleen Tipler, Political Science Quarterly "Offers important
insights for thinking about democracy's prospects." -Christopher
Hobson, Perspectives on Politics
