Principled Power: Restoring Democracy and Opportunity to Polarized America
©2017, 2019 by S. J. Reynolds

Presciently written before the pandemic, Principled Power describes how partisanship undermined the nation with polarized politics, limiting the economy and preventing coordinated action for the public good. Unless the situation changes, the United States will struggle to recover from the coronavirus downturn and will decline, both economically and as a world power.

What drives this ever-worsening polarization, and is there any way through the political and social quagmire it creates? Principled Power describes a solution—a reaffirmation of our national principles and power, as a guide for reforms to restore broad economic access, party-neutral election laws, and adaptable government. These reforms will return power and prosperity to the nation and prevent wealthy donors and extremist voters from pushing their partisan and self-serving agendas. With rapid action now needed for economic recovery, these reforms have never been more urgent.

Of equal interest to those on the left and right of the political spectrum, Principled Power’s recommendations focus on two aspirations all Americans share—economic opportunity and political freedom. To have either, we need to break the congressional deadlock and return to a government where country and citizens take precedence over party and lobbyist groups.
