The editors (professors of political science at the U. of Wisconsin) present a shortened edition of The enduring debate, 6th edition. They collect 43 readings that provide opposing views on a range of political issues in the United States, including nullifying health care reform, corporate and labor spending in political campaigns, Congress and pork-barrel politics, constitutional interpretation, political journalism, voter identification laws, global warming, the bailout of Wall Street, and the national security strategy of the United States. The editors have not provided any introduction, so it is somewhat unclear what criteria went into selecting materials for this shorter work, but it appears that they have focused on including only contemporary materials and not the "classics" that are mentioned in the subtitle of the longer volume.
