Other People's Money: Politics of Pennsylvania

An introduction to the politics and government of Pennsylvania, focusing on what active citizens need to know of how politics in the Commonwealth actually works. “A comprehensive account of Pennsylvania government and politics.” —G. Terry Madonna, author of Political Pennsylvania: The New Century. “For a state with tremendous historical and contemporary political prominence, Pennsylvania politics and governance has received fairly few comprehensive book length efforts. Insightful and well-written, Other People's Money: Politics in Pennsylvania thankfully fills the gap. The book nimbly weaves together key institutional and structural analysis with timely examples that demonstrate the unique dynamics of politics in the Keystone State.” —Christopher Borick, Muhlenberg College. “A terrific tour and tutorial of a key state whose politics most reflect the politics of America.” —John Baer, author of On the Front Lines of Pennsylvania Politics.
