Reviews

In our age of democratic turmoil, citizens often ask: What can I do? Where can I have an impact? Frustratingly, analysts usually have few answers to these important questions. Eitan Hersh does. His careful analysis and moving stories show us where and how citizens have made a difference and why so many don't. Along the way, he will leave you inspired, and even hopeful, about America's democratic future. --Daniel Ziblatt, professor of government, Harvard University, and coauthor of How Democracies Die Politics is not a spectator sport nor a game, in spite of how Twitter can sometimes make it feel. With rigorous research and compelling stories, Hersh lays out exactly how your political participation might not be building the power you wish you had--and what to do to fix it. (Hint: Get involved locally. Consider a run for something!) --Amanda Litman, cofounder and executive director of Run for Something At a moment when most people are wringing their hands over the decline of democracy, Politics Is for Power offers a fresh, evidence-based look at both the problem and the solutions. Instead of looking to the outside for saviors, the book turns the mirror on all of us to show what we might be doing to destroy democracy and what we can be doing instead to renew it. It's a vital read for anyone who feels like there must be something more we can do. --Hahrie Han, inaugural director of the SNF Agora Institute and professor of political science, Johns Hopkins University
