A unique primer on how to think intelligently about the thorniest
public issues confronting us today Let's be honest, we've all
expressed opinions about difficult hot-button issues without always
thinking them through. With so much media spin, political
polarization, and mistrust of institutions, it's hard to know how
to think about these tough challenges, much less what to do about
them. One Nation Undecided takes on some of today's thorniest
issues and walks you through each one step-by-step, explaining what
makes it so difficult to grapple with and enabling you to think
smartly about it. In this unique what-to-do book, Peter Schuck
tackles poverty, immigration, affirmative action, campaign finance,
and religious objections to gay marriage and transgender rights.
For each issue, he provides essential context; defines key concepts
and values; presents the relevant empirical evidence; describes and
assesses the programs that now seek to address it; and considers
many plausible solutions. Schuck looks at all sides with scrupulous
fairness while analyzing them rigorously and factually. Each
chapter is self-contained so that readers may pick and choose among
the issues that interest and concern them most. His objective is to
educate rather than proselytize you--the very nature of these five
issues is that they resist clear answers; reasonable people can
differ about where they come out on them. No other book provides
such a comprehensive, balanced, and accessible analysis of these
urgent social controversies. One Nation Undecided gives you the
facts and competing values, makes your thinking about them more
sophisticated, and encourages you to draw your own conclusions.
