Dawn of Unity: Guide to a New Prosperity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leonard, John B., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, Have you ever thought about the meaning of the phrase in Pres. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he refers to..".a government of the people, by the people, and for the people,..."? The author believes that our present system - by allowing money to influence the process - is not truly a government by the people; but is rather a government by a wealthy elite, operating primarily for their own benefit. He believes that for a government to truly be "by the people," all people should have equal power, and play an active role in determining government policy. He also believes that this can not come about until the government is freed from all outside influences; particularly the power of wealth. This book proposes two protocols: one to remove the power of money and wealth, and the other, an easy to implement procedure that will put all motivated individuals in control of decision-making processes within all areas of government; from neighborhoods, to cities, to states, and to the nation. Herein is a viable way for all people to obtain governance that truly serves all. That way is through cooperative unity.

Policy Design for Democracy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schneider, Anne Larason / Ingram, Helen, PUBLISHER: University Press of Kansas, How can democracy be improved in an age when people are profoundly disenchanted with government? Part of the answer lies in the design of public policy that unmistakenly works to advance citizenship by listening to, educating, and involving ordinary people. Rather than serve mainly the narrow interests of powerful groups who are socially constructed as "deserving" or issuing discipline and punishment to powerless people socially constructed as "undeserving", public policy needs to advance citizenship, solve problems, pursue justice, and balance the interests of individuals with a concern for the collective good. Policy Design for Democracy is a theoretically sophisticated work that draws examples from a wide array of public policy arenas. It summarizes four current approaches to policy theory -- pluralism, policy sciences, public choice, and critical theory -- and shows how none offers more than a partial view of the policy design characteristics that support and perpetuate democracy. Schneider and Ingram then develop a theory of public policymaking predicated on understanding how differences in policy designs are related to differences in the contexts from which they emerge and how these designs have an impact on democracy. One of the first books to examine systematically the substantive aspects of public policy, Policy Design for Democracy is written clearly and with sufficient examples to make it easily understandable by undergraduates. Its linkage of public policy to citizenship is an important antidote to the overly technical and goal-driven orientation adopted by the policy sciences and public choice, and to the overly self-interested and strategic political games found inpluralist theory. Schneider and Ingram close by recommending a series of reforms that will improve policy designs and help restore citizen confidence in government.
