America's search for public philosophy: despite their disagreements, liberals and conservative share an impoversihed vision of citizenship, leaving them unable to address the anxiety and frustration abroad in the land

Article Abstract:

Neither US political party is addressing Americans' fears that we have lost control of events, and that the social moral fiber is unraveling. A history of American political philosophy is followed by an international perspective of global citizenship. National chauvinism and self-interest are now anachronisms.

Article Abstract:

Politicians are too concerned about being reelected to govern effectively or pass useful laws. US politicians spend more time and money than politicians from other nations when campaigning. US politicians tend to act on the behalf of the majority rather than on the behalf of the national interest.
