The Great Broadening is making news!
"The Great Broadening is rooted in a massive exploration of data connected with the Policy Agendas Projects. Culling data across nearly a century of American politics and government, the book raises as many new questions as it conclusively answers. The authors are candid that they are expanding the conversation about American political development, not necessarily refuting previous claims. They do so with a heap of quantitative measures on agenda setting in congress, federal expenditures, and the size of the administrative state. This is a must read for students of American politics."
The new book by Bryan Jones, Sean Theriault, and Michelle Whyman is the subject of the newest episode of New Books in Political Science. Bryan was interviewed by Heath Jones on the "big book with a provocative thesis." Listen here: New Books in Political Science: The Great Broadening.
