Negative Positive
Title: An easy, but highly biased read.
Review: Jansson's book doesn't read like most textbooks and is easy to follow. However, seldom does a more biased text come along. Jansson is clearly a liberal who feels that any Republican president or politician has no compassion for the poor or downtrodden. While throwing in a few light token criticisms of politicians like Bill Clinton, he mainly bashes Reagan, both Bushes, Newt Gingrich, etc. with opinionated claims such as positing that Ronald Reagan disliked poor people because he grew up in a family without much money and had a father who was an alcoholic. If you're looking for liberal ideology, this is your kind of book. If you want a book that explains the facts of social policy minus the irrelavant partisan opinions, look elsewhere.
