Drawing on his service as Minnesota Democratic US Senator Paul Wellstone's senior policy advisor in 1991, Casper demonstrates what he finds the most telling anti-democratic features of how the national government works by describing three initiative they worked on during the term: a sustainable national energy strategy, congressional campaign finance reform, and health care reform. His solution is to elect more populists to office. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
