Review:

Through an analysis of American federalism that returns to classic sources, The Meaning of American Federalism explains the conditions necessary for constituting a self-governing (rather than a state-governed) society and describes how such a system works. Included are Tocqueville's Analysis of the American Experiment; Hobbes' Leviathan and the Logic of American Federalism; The Covenantal Basis of American Federalism - Religious Roots; The Meaning of Federalism in The Federalist; Garcia - The Eclipse of Federalism, and the Central-Government Trap; The Organization of Government in Metropolitan Areas; Public Goods and Public Choices; Res Publica - The Emergence of Public Opinion, Civic Knowledge, and a Culture of Inquiry; Polycentricity - The Structural Basis of Self-Governing Systems; and Does Federalism Have a Future? -- Midwest Book Review
