Americans love to trash their politicians as corrupt and self-interested, but they don’t agree on a solution. How can America attract good leaders to the thousands of elective offices in the land? In Politicians: The Worst Kind of People to Run the Government, Except for All the Others, Bruce Chapman lays out a bold plan for the changes we need to make in our public life if we are serious about enabling worthy leaders to emerge and to succeed. Drawing on history as well as his own extensive experience in politics and public policy, Chapman challenges the conventional wisdom about politicians, arguing that their chief rivals—the media, bureaucrats, college professors, and even political “reform” groups—are often sources of further political demoralization rather than renewal. Republicans and Democrats alike, conservatives and liberals, have a stake in responding to the stirring and provocative challenge raised by this book.

Review
"Politicians... is a great read for young and old who want to understand representative government from the inside. The young will be informed, and the old entertained. And both will be inspired by the need for constructive citizenship. We need this book now." -- Edwin Meese III, former Attorney General of the United States
"Citizen participation is crucial to representative democracy. In Politicians, Bruce Chapman offers an insightful look at the players and practitioners of politics and an encouragement to those who want to participate in the political process. I recommend it highly."-- Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers
"How should a young person--or anyone--think about political life? With unique insight, Bruce Chapman explains what it takes and why America today needs more citizen politicians."-- Senator Hans Zeiger, Washington State Legislature
"wise and elegantly written book"-- The Weekly Standard
