If you want students to really understand the concept of power, moving beyond a survey book′s quick discussion of Laswell′s who gets what and how, Muir′s thoughtful Freedom in America might be the book for you. Exploring the words and ideas of such thinkers as Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Tocqueville, Muir discusses the nature and limits of three types of power--coercive, reciprocal, and moral--and then uses this framework to explain how American political institutions work.
