Book Description
Parenti's provocative critique of class power within traditional political institutions will arouse classroom debate and introduce students to a unique viewpoint of American capitalism. Unlike most texts on the American political system, DEMOCRACY FOR THE FEW emphasizes the political economy of public policy and who gets what.

Democracy for whom?.......2007-10-06
M. Parenti does make some valid points in his book Democracy for the Few, but the reader must sift through all the propaganda to find them.
While the United States may not be a perfect country, I don't believe our system of government is as bad off as Parenti would have the reader think.
The solution he appears to propose for our social, economic, and governmental ills would amount to a Marxist/socialist revolution.There are no easy solutions to years of prejudice and repression, to bureaucratic waste, and political party manipulations, but that doesn't mean we throw the baby out with the bathwater.
damn hippies.......2007-03-26
I dont like it when hippies start writing books bout things! and I dont like Hippies and also I dont like books, unless im throwing books at hippies.
Parenti is brilliant!!.......2007-03-21
I am using this book for my political science class and Michael Parenti's viewpoints are concise and accurate. He does an excellent job of using endnotes at the end of each chapter to allow for further research into some of the subjects he touches on. This book is definately an alternative viewpoint to what "the liberal media" deems fit to tell us.
Good book.......2007-03-10
I am taking a class that required me to have this book. I found myself reading ahead of what was required from the class.
Keep an open mind, America!.......2005-08-06
Parenti's work, including this one, are indeed controversial...but that's exactly what I love about Parenti...his work provokes critical thinking on the reader's part...he offers an different view in viewing our political, societal system and history...and no, it's not poorly researched like some of these reviewers has claimed(please look at the history events and news from not just CNN)...and yes, it's opinionated, just as often times different history books all written in their own little biased views...therefore I encourage every reader to read this book, because of the angel that it offers...I think it's a great book that can shatter some people's realty in America, and creat many new critical thinkers of our time!
Book Description
In a book that is at once deeply personal and intellectually savvy, Homegrown Democrat is a celebration of liberalism as the “politics of kindness.” In his inimitable style, Keillor draws on a lifetime of experience amongst the hardworking, God- fearing people of the Midwest and pays homage to the common code of civic necessities that arose from the left: Protect the social compact. Defend the powerless. Maintain government as a necessary force for good. As Keillor tells it, these are articles of faith that are being attacked by hard-ass Republican tax cutters who believe that human misery is a Dickensian fiction. In a blend of nostalgic reminiscence, humorous meditation, and articulate ire, Keillor asserts the values of his boyhood—the values of Lake Wobegon— that do not square with the ugly narcissistic agenda at work in the country today. A thoughtful, wonderfully written book, Homegrown Democrat is KeillorÂ's love letter to liberalism, the older generation, John F. Kennedy, the University of Minnesota, and the yellow-dog Democrat city of St. Paul that is sure to amuse and inspire Americans just when they need it most.
Download Description
"We Democrats are deeply flawed people, we can be earnestly boring and awfully righteous about moral issues in faraway places. We can be weenies, capable of doing dumb things in the name of the common good. But we do stick to our guns. We believe in decency and public spiritedness and have refused to hitch our wagon to yahooism and have supported government as a necessary force for good. And we are passionate. This is a time for passion."" ?from Homegrown Democrat ""I didn't become a Democrat because I was angry,"" says Garrison Keillor, writer and host of A Prairie Home Companion, ""I'm a Democrat because I received a good education in the schools of Anoka, Minnesota, and attended a great state university and when I was eighteen, John F. Kennedy ran for president."" Here, with great heart and and wit and a dash of anger, Keillor describes the democratic values of the hard-working God-fearing people of Lake Wobegon and the idea of the common good-the civil compact that Republicans have been attacking for the past decade. The simple code of the Golden Rule that underlies Midwestern civility. The politics of kindness. The obligation to defend the weak against the powerful. ""Despite the gaggle of corporate shills, hobby cops, misanthropic frat boys, dittoheads, gun fetishists, shrieking midgets, and nihilists in golf pants, and their Etch-a-Sketch president with a voice like a dial tone, this is a great country. And what unites us is our moral duty to bequeath it to our grandchildren in better shape than however we found it. We have a long way to go and we're not getting any younger."" A reminiscence, a political tract, and a humorous meditation, Homegrown Democrat is a deeply personal work from one of America's best-loved voices"

Great Book.......2007-10-03
Very good reading.
A hard book to find anywhere else, especially at this great price.
The service from Amazon was exceptionally good.I thought.
Entertaining prose but simplistic thesis.......2007-08-26
The thesis can be summed up in just a few words: Democrats good. Republicans bad.
Luckily, Keillor takes his time with the argument and I got the most enjoyment from the book reading the little stories and limericks that he uses to get his point across. The style is wonderful, but the content was very boring.
A GOSPEL OF LIBERALISM FOR PREACHERS AND OTHERS.......2007-07-12
This is an incredible book that explains in a very serious--but often humorous--way what a good Christian perspective on politics is and ought to be. The religious right has been king-on-the-hill far too long. This is a must-read for anyone claiming to preach the gospel. Our politics should incorporate the parable of the Good Samaritan and much more. Here is Keillor: "This is Democratic bedrock: we don't let people lie in the ditch and drive past and pretend not to see them dying." If I were still teaching my seminary courses ("My Calvin Seminary Story"), I would include this book on a reading list----especially before the 2008 election. This book is still as fresh as it was the day it was published. Buy up copies and pass them out to your religious-right friends.
Spot on!.......2007-06-07
People who are so far to the right they've fallen off the platform will hate this book. It's not for the wealthy with the mindset of "me, me, me for free, free, free." It's not for funadmentalists. But for those of us who grew up in the 1950's and 60's in an America where people were decent, and for others of a liberal mindset, Garrison Keillor's intelligent political rant will seem like a healing balm for the badly chafed.
Here, Keillor talks about what life was like growing up in Minnesota, what the people were like, and why the politics of the state are as heavily Democratic as they are. He remembers an America when neighbors knew each other and treated each other kindly, where there was tolerance, and where people wanted things to be better - for everyone, not just for themselves.
Keillor remembers his roots in the 1950's and 60's, in a time and place where people had a social conscience and wanted our country to be better, to offer more to those in need. In 1960, when he started college at the University of Minnesota, $50 a semester paid the0 tuition for residents of the state. Worthy students could get a college education and not have to go into debt up to their eyeballs whereas nowadays, only the wealthy have that privilege. The public schools K-12 were funded well enough to be excellent. Now they're not. The difference seems to be that, back then, people thought a well-educated populace was essential for a thriving democracy. Keillor still thinks so, apparently, and I say he's right.
I was heartened by this book, because I, too, believe it's time to get America back on track, a country where anyone can practice the religion they choose or none at all, one in which a major hospitalization need not necessitate a bankruptcy filing for those who have to work an ordinary job at ordinary pay to make a living, where the public schools haven't been deprived of their operating budgets by wealthy people who want to pay taxes at third-world tax rates (or none at all) but have a first-world quality of life.
So, to sum up, if you are moderate or liberal, read this book. It will warm your heart in cold political times. If you're so conservative you have to get out of the shower to tinkle, Im sure this book will annoy you no end and, therefore, I'd be thrilled if you read it. Go, GK!
Not Quite Lake Wobegon.......2006-12-17
First, I have to disclose that aside from liking Garrison Keillor, I am frequently mistaken by people for him. A few times a month, someone will come up to me and ask me if I am Garrison Keillor or tell me that I look just like him. It's not a bad situation in many regards. I just wish I could write like him, though I'm trying. I sent Mr Keillor an e-mail describing this situation several years ago, and he very graciously sent me a return message apologizing for our shared looks as well as some tips on how to cope. In that message we also briefly exchanged political views. I am more conservative as well as being a Christian and he questioned how that could be. That was all there was to it. We moved on. I still listen to and appreciate his wit on the radio and have read most all he has written. It seemed the least I could do, what with our mutually shared burden. ;)
So, I finally got around to listening to this work in which Mr. Keillor expounds more on his political views.
Overall, despite my not being in complete agreement with some of the points, I enjoyed most of the book's reading by Garrison in CD format. A good portion of it intertwines his experiences growing up in Minnesota where being a Democrat is pretty much a foregone conclusion and tied into the warp and woof of life. As such what is appealing about the book is the idealism and grass-roots America reflected therein. As Garrison describes it, I could be the type of Democrat he describes. That's because a great deal of what he describes is not unique to Democrats. What he is describing is middle class America, where people are decent, wanting to help each other and willing to join together to face a common adversary, whatever form that foe may take.
What disappoints me a little, is that in rejecting and seeking to take down what he sees as the "evils" of Republicanism, he pretty much uses the same tactics he claims to deplore. Republicans are stereotyped. Oh, sure, There's the obligatory, "there are some Republicans who I have liked" lines interspersed. George W. Bush by his standard rates somewhere just slightly better than Attila the Hun.
That's really why I can't give this a 5 as I would with most of his work. Some of this is just plain mean and vitriolic, despite the nice folksy trappings. I can understand some of it though. It hasn't been easy to be a Democrat, lo these past 10 plus years. Some of the tactics employed in portraying this once great party are arguably not fair and most Democrats are decent caring people. Sadly, rather than promoting this on its own merits, Garrison goes the extra mile and seeks to send some of what he's apparently tired of hearing, right back at them. Sadly, in my opinion, there's enough venom in places that he sounds more like that what he's decrying. It's not always an appealing tone and one which seems just a little foreign.
All that said, I enjoyed the listen and the insight further into Mr Keillor's politics and personal views. He's an enjoyable person to listen to.
I just hope someone doesn't mistake me for him stepping out of a car with McCain 2008 bumperstickers and thinking he's finally lost it. He already thinks I have. ;)
Book Description
The Real Story Series is based on a simple idea--political books don't have to be boring. Short, well-written and to the point, Real Story books are meant to be read.
In these fact-filled, illusion-shattering masterpieces, the man the "New York Times" called "arguably the most important intellectual alive," explains why "what the public wants is called 'politically unrealistic.' Translated into English, that means power and privilege are opposed to it."
Normally somewhat difficult to read, Chomsky is at his most accessible in his speeches and interviews, and that's what these books are compiled from. Here are some examples of what he has to tell you:
In 1970, about 90% of international capital was used for trade and long-term investment-more or less productive things--and 10% reserved for speculation. By 1990, those figures were reversed.
Haiti, a starving island, is exporting food to the U.S.--about 35 times as much under Clinton as under Bush.
The gap between how much income is held by the richest and poorest 20? has increased dramatically over the past 30 years--about double for rich vs. poor countries and far more for rich vs. poor people.

Towards greater inequalities.......2007-04-15
This trilogy gives a fair view of N. Chomsky's clinical vision on the US and the world.
He rightly sees the US as a business-run society, where the political parties reflect the interests of big corporations. The main aim of those corporations is higher market share and profits, not job creation or a better life for workers. An important factor in business profitability is the Pentagon and its military budget.
The powerful, the owners of those corporations, don't want to be subjected to democracy. They want an obedient, passive population of consumers and political spectators. This policy is successfully implemented through control of the media (`the general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't know that it doesn't know').
The aim of US foreign policy was not to impose a democracy or respect for human rights or to increase living standards (a cardinal factor for the control of demographic tendencies). On the contrary, the US consistently opposed democracy if the results couldn't be controlled. Through covert (intelligence agencies) or military intervention the US (tried to) crush independent and popular forces that might bring about meaningful democracy (for those in power, `a virus' that would infect other countries and regions). Chomsky mentions interventions in Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Chili, Panama, Grenada, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Iraq, Iran, Yugoslavia, Greece and Italy.
In the US and worldwide, he sees considerable increases in inequality. In the US, real wages are declining since the 1960s and working conditions are worsening.
However, this book contains also some inaccuracies. N. Chomsky underestimated the democratic importance of internet and also its business impact (skilled information workers don't have to emigrate). He thought that biotechnology and genetic engineering would become the major investment focuses of the future, not military expenditures (today 50 % of the total US budget).
His analysis of the oil price hike in the 1970s is not correct (see W. Engdahl) and the main aim of speculative capital is quick gains (results are published every three months).
It is evident that in three small books one cannot fully evaluate international institutions or dismember philosophical problems. For criticism of GATT, IMF and World Bank I recommend the books of J. Stiglitz, and for a study of human nature and the roots of racism the works of R. Dawkins.
Ultimately, what can ordinary people do in order to influence the political process: first of all, vote (elections matter), also demonstrate (cause of the end of the Vietnam War) and divulge your opinion.
These books are written by a superbly free mind. We need Chomsky's voice. Highly recommended.
Thoughtful short work.......2002-07-30
more of a compendium of short interviews than indepth analysis but once again provides some thought provoking ideas for anyone interested in the world around them and if your're not, WHY NOT?
short interesting books on foreign policy and trade.......2002-06-09
The chomsky trilogy consists or three books from chomsky. They cover issues that really brought out by the media. They focus on U.S. foreign policy that many people may not be aware of it like nicauraga and hati. He deals with how coporations and strong anti-communist feeling influenced the policy. In addition, the books cover trade agreements like NAFTA and GATT and how they are influenced by corporations and turning parts of the industrialized world into the third world.
Some Good Points.......2002-04-24
In Chomsky's democracy, there is no passive citizens. Everyone will have to think and participate. And if you think about the some of the statements in this book, you begin to wonder. It's a good start when you embark on seriously reflecting on the nature of the world around us.
On the other hand, the reader whould do well to, as the first exercise, think about some of the things said in the book. For example, on p.99, it was mentioned by on of the questioners that "The United Sates, with 5% of the world's population, consumes 40% of the world's resources...." At the same time, on p.38, the author laments that "Real wages has been declining since the 1960's" in talking about the Third-Worldization of America. Does anyone not suspect that if Americans are any richer than they are now, they would not consume merely 40%, but maybe 50%, 60% or more, of the world's resources? Is it not implicit in the author's lament his horror at the thought of living a style not on the same level as the United States, when in fact, these other countries are living a more ecological balanced life? Yes, counter the defenders, but, it's possible for us to make more money and consume less. Really? What is the motivation to make money but to consume. And is it feasible at all that economic growth, the only source of wage growth, can be achieved without using up some resources of the world? A society where there is no farmer, no hunter but everyone is a lecturer, who does not pollute air, does not cut down trees, does not kill animals for food, does not exist.
In "Media Control", the same author talked about "manufacturing consent" and having "to turn to the technique of propaganda" by the government, as early as the Creel Commission to Americans to go in to World War I. In another breath, he writes in p.36 of this book, "the media contribute to the sense that the government is the enemy and they suppress the sources of real power in the society, which lie in the totalitarian institutions - the corporations, now international in scale - that control the economy and much of our social life." How is that possible? Did the Big Brother slip somewhere for the "controlled" media to attack it's own master?
Nevertheless, Chomsky is right to think that there is "a lot of power behind" the theory put forth by Thomas Ferguson, who believes that "the state is controlled by coalitions of investors who join together around some common interests." So, he is against Big Business. But, somewhat he is not against Big Government, for he thinks it's OK that the health care be in the hand of the government, for example.
He is only against the government when it comes to foreign policies. And here he is at his most consistent, as he describes one event after another, from the softball plants in Haiti, to Nicaragua, German POW's, Chile and Russia.
THE US POLICY OF AGGRESSION UNCOVERED!.......2002-01-20
In the past, the US was loved and respected in the world for symbolysing freedom, democracy and justice and for its educational humanitarian missions in many countries.
Regretfully, since WW2 it is increasingly identified with a foreign policy of domination, military aggresion, and glaringly immoral/unfair double standards particularly in the Middle East where its direct or indirect(through Israel) victims have been the Palestinian, Lebanese and Iraqi people.
Book Description
Direct democracy is alive and well in the United States. Citizens are increasingly using initiatives and referendums to take the law into their own hands, overriding their elected officials to set tax, expenditure, and social policies. John G. Matsusaka's For the Many or the Few provides the first even-handed and historically based treatment of the subject.
Drawing upon a century of evidence, Matsusaka argues against the popular belief that initiative measures are influenced by wealthy special interest groups that neglect the majority view. Examining demographic, political, and opinion data, he demonstrates how the initiative process brings about systematic changes in tax and expenditure policies of state and local governments that are generally supported by the citizens. He concludes that, by and large, direct democracy in the form of the initiative process works for the benefit of the many rather than the few.
An unprecedented, comprehensive look at the historical, empirical, and theoretical components of how initiatives function within our representative democracy to increase political competition while avoiding the tyranny of the majority, For the Many or the Few is a most timely and definitive work.

Book Description
This book is the first to compare the freedoms and protections of members of the United States Congress with those of Britain’s Parliament. Placing legislative privilege in historical context, Josh Chafetz explores how and why legislators in Britain and America have been granted special privileges in five areas: jurisdictional conflicts between the courts and the legislative houses, freedom of speech, freedom from civil arrest, contested elections, and the disciplinary powers of the houses.
Legislative privilege is a crucial component of the relationship between a representative body and the other participants in government, including the people. In recounting and analyzing the remarkable story of how parliamentary government emerged and evolved in Britain and how it crossed the Atlantic, Chafetz illuminates a variety of important constitutional issues, including the separation of powers, the nature of representation, and the difference between written and unwritten constitutionalism. This book will inspire in readers a much greater appreciation for the rise and triumph of democracy.

A great contribution to an understudied field.......2007-01-07
Democracy's Privileged Few is a careful, well-documented, and important study of an underappreciated topic in constitutional law. The legislative privileges protected by our Constitution are rarely discussed in courts, but they represent some of the most fundamental requirements of democratic self-government. Spanning from modern bribery scandals to freedom of speech, the power of Congress to imprison ordinary citizens, and medieval conflicts between the King and Parliament, Democracy's Privileged Few is an excellently written account of how legislative privilege emerged in the British Constitution and survived (or evolved) in the U.S. Constitution. Anyone with an interest in the foundations of American government would do well to read this book.
Book Description
For thirty-seven days after the disputed presidential election of 2000, we watched great theater, as George W Bush and Al Gore slugged it out in the swamp. You may think you've read it all before, but now Newsweek's David A. Kaplan goes behind the scenes of the sanctimony and machinations. In his critically acclaimed bestseller, The Silicon Boys, Kaplan took us inside Silicon Valley. In The Accidental President, he does the same for this epic moment in American history -- a harmonic convergence of politics and law, media and culture.
With his mordant wit and incisive storytelling, Kaplan tells us how -- contrary to popular belief -- the Supreme Court's ruling for Bush was not a foregone conclusion and why the dissenting justices thought, until the last second, they could lure the one equivocating colleague they'd derisively nicknamed "Flipper." We're in the room when Gore decides that, more than any great lawyer, the one person he needs in Recountland is . . . Erin Brockovich. We learn which Bush partisan covertly marionetted the strings behind Katherine Harris. And we're treated to sketches of the characters they called Secret Squirrel and the Fine-Looking Man and of the political operative who jumped from a moving train.
Through it all -- butterflies and boils; concessions, recantations, and fraternal recriminations; lawyers, more lawyers, and 181 invocations of the phrase "uncharted waters" -- Kaplan paints a picture of an extraordinary episode for the country. There are few heroes in this tale. No person or institution comes out looking very good. "Rule of law" simply meant trying to figure out a way around the law -- realpolitik by any other name.
The outcome of Bush versus Gore was a colossal fortuity, an election gone bad, made worse by an inconceivable coincidence of accidents. A lucky tactical call here, a confusing ballot there -- amid all the folly and hypocrisy, these are what landed Bush in the White House. Different turns might have cast destiny the other way. Bush is our nation's first accidental president, just as Gore would have been. Bush may thrive or stumble in office. But either way, few will forget how he got there after November 7, 2000.
This is the definitive story of those thirty-seven days and why they matter.

An interesting twist on the 2000 election outcome.......2005-02-10
Kaplan does a superb job of walking the reader through the incredibly complex events between election day and Gore's final concession to George W. Bush. Ideally, this book should be read together with Jeffrey Toobin's "Too Close to Call," because both books cover the same events from different perspectives. Both writers are pro-Democrat, but where Toobin blames the Democrats for being gutless, Kaplan attributes the blame for Gore's defeat in a surprising way: Kaplan blames the liberal-based custom of judicial activism, and Justice Anthony Kennedy in particular, for the sequence of events that ended in Bush's victory.
Kaplan's argument, coming from a liberal, is an unusual one: He argues that Roe v. Wade, the pivotal 1973 abortion case, was a debacle of judicial interference in the legislative process, and established the pattern of judges intervening in anything that they wanted to tinker with. The legal reasoning behind Roe v. Wade was that some judges imagined there might have been a right to privacy somewhere in the Constitution, even though that wording does not appear anywhere.
Fast forward to 2000, and we have the spectacle of Justice Kennedy as a key swing-vote on the Supreme Court, intervening in the presidential election merely because he had a whim that his judgement would be better than anyone else's. Thus, for those who accept this author's reasoning, we have the rich irony of Roe v. Wade leading to a judicial coup d'etat by a conservative-controlled Supreme Court. Somewhere along the way, the Supreme Court has declared itself to be dictator over the executive and legislative branches.
Writing in the summer of 2001, Kaplan says, "George W. Bush may be forgotten soon enough. His presidency is accidental and the tranquil times don't cry out for leadership." Oops! Well, few anticipated what would happen a few months later.
The almost complete story.......2003-01-14
This is a great review of the various events that led up to the US Supreme Court's coup d'etat whereby ultimately one justice, and not the brightest one, decided that Bush and not Gore would be president. Kaplan provided a wealth of information on th roles played by honest and dishonest people in the bungled Florida election. My only criticism of this otherwise very well researched and responsible work is that it omits some important background information. For instance, it does not explain how the Florida governor and secretary of state accomplished that many african-american voters, mostly democrats, could not vote by manipulating the work of the data processing outfit that was to determine which voters were felons. This and other schemes would have provided a better understanding of the background of the election debacle, which was not an accident at all.
decent book........2002-07-04
while it is interesting to read the story behind election 2000, the book is not well written. the storyline is obviously quite interesting, but at times the book fills you up with worthless information, and gets boring & repetative. overall a good read though.
One of the Best Election 2000 Books I've Read.......2002-04-02
