In “One Nation Undecided,” Peter Schuck tackles poverty, immigration, affirmative action, campaign finance, and religious objections to gay marriage and transgender rights.
For each issue he provides
essential context
defines key concepts and values
presents the relevant empirical evidence
describes and assesses the programs that now seek to address it
considers many plausible solutions.
Each chapter is self-contained so that readers may pick and choose among the issues that interest and concern them most. His objective is to educate rather than proselytize — the very nature of these five issues is that they resist clear answers; reasonable people can differ about where they come out on them.
