About this listen

 American Politics is about the theory and the practice of politics in the United States. It will give you insight into how the game of politics is played today, how and why politicians and parties win or lose, and how the machinery of power and partisanship works.

Politics touches all of us. It’s entertaining and solemn, frivolous and deadly, poetry and prose, cynical and idealistic. Politics is a reflection of the best of us and the worst of us, our noblest ideals and our most sordid instincts. It’s about the past and the future, high commerce and popular culture. It defines what makes us laugh, how we should live, and for what we are prepared to die. We are all political creatures. We cannot escape politics.

"Philip Wik’s book American Politics is generally well-regarded by students and scholars, particularly for those looking for an accessible introduction to U.S. political systems. It covers key topics such as the American political system, political institutions, parties, and the electoral process. The book tends to be praised for its clarity and thorough coverage of foundational concepts in American politics."
