Summary
"This book deals with the conservative aftermath of several eras of reform in American history by pointing to the phenomenon of "recalibration". It demonstrates the difficulty of achieving substantive political change in American politics; elements of the old political order always somehow find ways to survive and reassert themselves after reform has occurred"-- Provided by publisher.
