Lineberry argues that U.S. politics centers around equality, the political economy, and technology, and that it seeks to incorporate global, technological, and ethical issues in the American political landscape. He focuses on four theories of American politics: democratic theory, class and elite theory, pluralism, and hyperpluralism. New to this edition are comparisons with other governments and chapters on the role of media in shaping public opinion. ISBN 0-673-39898-6: $20.00.
