VIRGINIA WAY

For four hundred years, Virginia's politicians have preached a "Virginia Way" of honor, gentility and democracy. In reality, this ideology bred a corrupt political class, a runaway electricity company, a university that reflected the values of donors and a school system that suffered from cronyism. This Virginia Way prevented rather than promoted the success of its stated democratic ideals. Readers from the right, left and middle will learn much about how their government operates and understand Virginia in a whole new way. Author Jeff Thomas explodes the myth of the Virginia Way with an insightful portrait of the people, politics and power that run the Commonwealth.

Timp de patru sute de ani, politicienii din Virginia au propovaduit un „Virginia Way” de onoare, blandete si democratie. In realitate, aceasta ideologie a creat o clasa politica corupta, o companie de electricitate fugara, o universitate care reflecta valorile donatorilor si un sistem scolar care suferea de amicism.
