Review: "This is an account of the hidden psychology of politics and the hidden politics of the psyche. It is packed with ideas on economics, nationalism, 'good-enough' leadership, the citizen and the state, women and men, fatherhood, and the citizen as a 'therapist of the world'. Samuels offers trenchant and timely critiques of the crisis in contemporary politics."--Jacket.
