Publisher Synopsis
"The goal of this series on the politics and governments of the 50 states is to study the specific character of each state by examining its political culture, traditions and practices, constituencies and interest groups, and constitutional and institutional frameworks. The Minnesota volume does exactly that. One comes away with a good understanding of the state, which elevated not only Harold Stassen to office, but Hubert H. Humphrey and Jesse Ventura as well! ... The authors have skillfully woven four themes: the state has a healthy, growing economy; a clean and active government of which its citizens are generally proud; a moralistic culture; and a rightful claim as a national leader and innovator in many fields of public policy. A solid, thoughtful look at government and politics in the North Star State. Recommended at all levels."-Choice Choice Read more...
