This book explores the words and ideas of thinkers as Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Tocqueville. The author discusses the nature and limits of three types of power-coercive, reciprocal, and moral-and then uses this framework to explain how American political institutions work. If looking for an alternative to a long survey text-or itching to get students grappling with The Federalist Papers or Democracy in America with more of a payoff-Muir's meditation on power and personal freedom is a gateway for students to take their study of politics to the next level. The author adopts inductive style, engaging students with well-chosen and masterfully written stories of American democracy.
