This topic has been on a lot of people’s minds. What makes The Triad different from other books on gridlock and political dysfunction?
Many books focus on reforms, for example, campaign finance laws to limit the influence of big money on politics. Some books blame specific groups of people; I’ve seen books pointing fingers at everyone from the Republicans in Congress to liberal Hollywood stars who one author claims are absconding with our tax dollars.
I’m saying let’s take a step back and think about how all of us might be perpetuating the problem, and how each of us have something valuable to contribute to the solution. A whole lot of this is about changing the moral climate, which is the reason for the focus on civic virtues.
It's also not a dry academic book, but very autobiographical, an engaging personal conversation with the reader.
