"Review of the first publication: 'What sets [the book] apart is [the authors’] rejection of the party identification and issue voting approaches to the study of electoral behavior in favor of a ""radical approach"" focusing on the conflicts of interest produced by social inequality and ideological pervasiveness.' — Jorgen S. Rasmussen, Political Science Quarterly"
