     Ed Banfield's incisive and clear-sighted examination of the
dilemma  of popular government-and  the ways in which we may
destroy it by 'improving' it-is a classic of conservative political
thought.
-Judge  ROBERT  H. BORK,  author of The Tempting of America

     Ed Banfield's subtle and sophisticated analysis of our politi-
cal process-why  it is what it is and cannot be otherwise-is a
healthy antidote to naive optimists like myself who believe we can
induce the people to change the way they rule.
-MILTON   FRIEDMAN,   Senior Research Fellow, Hoover Institution
