Prometheus Bound: An Essay On The American Government is a non-fiction book written by Clifford L. Rein. The book provides a critical analysis of the American government and its functioning, drawing parallels to the Greek myth of Prometheus who was punished for his rebellion against the gods. The author argues that the American government, like Prometheus, is bound by its own limitations and struggles to fulfill its promises to the people. Rein delves into the history of American politics and examines the flaws in the system, including the role of money in politics, the influence of special interest groups, and the lack of accountability of elected officials. He also explores the impact of the media on the government and the need for a more informed and engaged citizenry. The book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in understanding the workings of the American government and its challenges in the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
