U.S.A. 2012: After the Middle-Class Revolution / Edition 1

by Kenneth M. Dolbeare, Janette Kay Hubbell

Overview

In this provocative and credible vision of middle-class revolt, Kenneth M. Dolbeare and Janette Kay Hubbell issue a clarion call for the economic, social, and political revolution that they predict will revitalize American democracy for the twenty-first century.

The authors propose specific, practical measures for solving the systemic problems they foresee. Among their prescriptions are routine and binding national referendums on all major issues, firmly regulated campaign funding and media access, elections opened to multiple political parties and proportional voting, and a drastically redesigned judicial system.

Editorial Reviews

This thin volume is a pocket guide to understanding symbols found in organizations, and the methodologies to study them. Jones (folklore and history, U. of California) demonstrates specific techniques for identifying and examining various symbolic "domains" such as office architecture, workplace jargon, corridor art, and executive suite folktales. The questions is left to the reader whether the symbols grow from tradition or power, and so is interesting in its nascent inquiry into the nearly unconscious constructs of a working life. Lacks an index. Paper edition (0220-1), $9.50. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
