Acerca de esta escucha
In his uniquely straightforward and accessible style, political insider Graham Steele pulls back the curtain on our political system and gives listeners a look inside. A lawyer, analyst, former Nova Scotia cabinet minister, and author of the Globe & Mail best-selling memoir What I Learned About Politics, Steele answers the burning questions of Canadians: Who really runs the parties? What does a backbencher do? How does a citizen effectively navigate the system and achieve change through a politician? What is “truthiness”?
A primer for anyone who wants to become a politician or influence one, The Effective Citizen explains how politicians think and what factors influence that thinking, how to interpret the “non-answer” in political speech, and acknowledges that in politics, bland is safe. Ideal for political neophytes and junkies all the same, Steele’s newest book will have the whole country talking.

In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the tragic story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaign - the candidate herself.

As one of the strategists behind the famous 2012 RNC “autopsy,” Miller conducts his own forensic study on the pungent carcass of the party he used to love, cutting into all the hubris, ambition, idiocy, desperation, and self-deception for everyone to see. In a bracingly honest reflection on both his own past work for the Republican Party and the contortions of his former peers in the GOP establishment, Miller draws a straight line between the actions of the 2000s GOP to the Republican political class's Trumpian takeover, including the horrors of January 6th.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan isn’t one to avoid arguments. He relishes them as the lifeblood of democracy and the only surefire way to establish the truth. Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value—and can also simply be fun.

Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared. Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy. In this clear-eyed and unsparing audiobook, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity.

The American presidency is in trouble. It has become overburdened, misunderstood, almost impossible to do. “The problems in the job unfolded before Donald Trump was elected, and the challenges of governing today will confront his successors”, writes John Dickerson. After all, the founders never intended for our system of checks and balances to have one superior Chief Magistrate, with Congress demoted to “the little brother who can’t keep up”.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Graham Steele is an honest writer. It’s the ingredient that make his books so compelling to read. In his first book, What I Learned about Politics, the former Nova Scotia politician and cabinet minister writes candidly about his 15 years in the game. It is not pretty. With his second book, The Effective Citizen: How to Make Politicians Work for You, Graham continues to point out the flaws in our political system as a way to improve it. Coming from someone who has been on the inside of politics and government, and who is so passionate about public service, his book is prescriptive, sometimes surprising - and a must read." (Jane Taber, vice president public affairs at NATIONAL Public Relations in Toronto and former Globe & Mail political reporter)
