You may be OK with standard stuff like Conservatism and Democracy,
but do you really know what Patrimonialism is? And what about
Oligarchy? Anarcho-syndicalism? Politics is, we are willing to bet,
the most passionately argued-over subject matter, and yet how many
of us flounder around in confrontational debates because we have no
grip on political theory, just a vague notion that they are all out
to get us? 30-Second Politics will help dispel this fog mistrust
and paranoia. It challenges political theorists of all colors to
come up with no-frill, no-spin, tell-it-like-it-is explanations of
the 50 most important political -isms, -archies, and -ocracies that
have pertained since the time of Periclean Athens. At no public
expense, the book explains each political theory in nothing more
than two pages, 300 words, and some propaganda-style imagery, for
we all know that a picture opportunity is worth a thousand words of
dull interview.
