Commonwealth:
A Return to Citizen Politics
by Harry C. Boyte (hardcover)
218 pages. (New York: The Free Press, 1989)

Today, most people see “politics” as mainly
a spectator sport – and one that fails to accomplish
our most basic tasks, from quality education to care for
the environment. In Commonwealth: A Return to Citizen
Politics, Boyte offers a sweeping reinterpretation of
politics and power in which citizens, not experts and
pundits, take center stage. |
