Description
In this book, George C. Edwards III dispels many popular misconceptions about American politics and public policy, challenging what many people hold to be self-evident. Edwards starts by outlining common, often prevailing understandings of crucial issues--such as who pays taxes, how much we spend on foreign aid, or how free speech actually is--then shows readers how these views are inaccurate and harmful. Appealing to the widespread fascination with debunking myths, this engaging book arms readers with important information on key issues in American political life that will last them a lifetime.
