"Taking my first, and last, political science course at Grinnell in the sophomore year, I was introduced to Robert A. Dahl, proponent of a pluralist model to explain the functioning of representative government in the USA. Unfortunately, he was not introduced in the context of his debate with C. Wright Mills and G. William Domhoff, the first of whom I had already read and the second of whom I would have liked. Dahl himself, a proponent of political science as just that, a science, adduces a stong argument for his idea of competing interest groups and elites by amassing facts and figures. Sadly, his writing was as dull as his charts. This, and other equally dull texts, turned me off to the subject as an academic discipline though I continued to do my own reading in the field."
"If you can stay awake while reading it, and I struggled to do so, you'll find a good critique of Madisonian theory and top analysis of America's democratic system."
