Drawing on newspaper accounts, angry letters to editors, local histories, and court records, David Ress uncovers a number of miniature yet critical moments in the history of government accountability, tracing its decline as the gap between citizens and officials widened with the idea of the community as corporation and citizens as consumers. Together, these moments tell the story of how a nation thought about democracy and the place of the individual in an increasingly complex society, with important lessons for policy makers, journalists, and activists today. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Gilded Age; Progressive Era; the age of reform in America; government accountability; government in the | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-68258-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-88572-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-68258-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
