In this provocative and credible vision of middle-class revolt, Kenneth M. Dolbeare and Janette Kay Hubbell issue a clarion call for the economic, social, and political revolution that they predict will revitalize American democracy for the twenty-first century.

The authors propose specific, practical measures for solving the systemic problems they foresee. Among their prescriptions are routine and binding national referendums on all major issues, firmly regulated campaign funding and media access, elections opened to multiple political parties and proportional voting, and a drastically redesigned judicial system.

Kenneth M. Dolbeare is a retired professor of political science who has taught at the Universities of Wisconsin, Washington, Massachusetts, and Colorado-Denver. He also taught for fifteen years at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. In addition to his Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University, he received his LLB from Brooklyn Law School and is a member of the New York Bar. He is the author of several research monographs and other books, the most recent of which is USA 2012: After the Middle Class Revolution (1996).
