Sample Book Insights: #1 A political party may find that it has had a history, before it is fully aware of or agrees on its permanent tenets. Its fundamental beliefs will be found only by careful examination of its behavior throughout its history and by examining what its more thoughtful and philosophical minds have said on its behalf. #2 Modern politics is the story of the march of democracy, in which men and women have fought for their rights and freedoms. But behind that march, there has always been a counter march, led by conservative ideas. #3 Occasionally, the subordinates of a world protest their conditions and make demands. They cease to be servants or supplicants and become agents, speaking and acting on their own behalf. This infuriates their superiors. #4 American labor history is filled with similar complaints from the employing classes and their allies in government: not that unionized workers are violent or unprofitable, but that they are independent and self-organizing.
