The author makes a good case that Americans have a love/hate relationship with government, seeing it as a necessary evil. He proposes that government is much more than a necessary evil, but I don't think his thesis is going to gain too much credence at this time, though he makes a convincing case. It's not his fault; he simply can't be heard over the noise. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Distinctions
In A Necessary Evil, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Garry Wills shows that distrust of government is embedded deep in the American psyche. From the revolt of the colonies against king and parliament to present-day tax revolts, militia movements, and debates about term limits, Wills shows that American antigovernment sentiment is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our history. By debunking some of our fondest myths about the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and the taming of the frontier, Wills shows us how our tendency to hold our elected government in disdain is misguided.
