Constitutional Coup

Discover the thought-provoking insights of Jon D. Michaels in his compelling book, Constitutional Coup, published by Harvard University Press in 2017. This hardback edition spans 320 pages and delves into the intricate relationship between bureaucracy and the American government. Michaels explores the paradox of American attitudes towards bureaucracy—while citizens often express disdain for it, they simultaneously appreciate the essential services it provides.

As the nation witnesses a privatization revolution, this book critically examines how the intertwining of politics and profit is reshaping government functions. Michaels argues that this trend consolidates state power in ways that challenge the original intentions of the Constitution's framers, who aimed to prevent such centralization.

Engage with this essential read that invites reflection on the future of governance in the United States. Perfect for anyone interested in law, politics, and the evolving landscape of American democracy.
