- catalog abstract "America's government is losing its edge. Congress, the White House, even local politicians--every year they grow busier while solving fewer problems. But why? In what the Washington Post called "an incisive analysis of what ails our political culture," Jonathan Rauch exposes precisely why our government has lost the ability to make things work. With clarity and humor, Government's End--extensively revised and rethought since its first publication as Demosclerosis--explains the insidious forces that have gradually made Washington dysfunctional. And it shows how twenty years of reform efforts went awry. A manifesto of the radical center, Government's End sketches a new "radical incrementalism" that can succeed where Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and Newt Gingrich failed. As America enters the twenty-first century, Jonathan Rauch's dissection of the body politic is more important than ever.".
