Klappentext Barack Obama's election as US president generated hope that the US was entering a new era whereby government would be the solution to the nation's problems. The election slogan of "Yes We Can” seemed to voice a hope that new leadership would put right what had gone wrong. Within a short time! however! "Yes We Can” gave way to "No We Can't”. The contributors to Broken Government? debate whether American government is broken and! if so! what can be done to fix it. Zusammenfassung Barack Obama's election as president in 2008 generated widespread hope that the United States was entering a new era whereby government! in a reversal of Ronald Reagan's famous dictum! would be the solution to the nation's manifold problems amid the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
