O'Keefe does an excellent job outlining the need for term limits on elected officials. This book is a page turner. His discussion is backed up with hard truths which reveal details behind the change from citizen government to a protected political class. This is an eye-opening book.
Excellent essay on the decline of democracy, how to save it.

Couldn't stop reading. I hadn't been a fan of term limits until I picked up Eric O'Keefe's mesmerizing book. He makes a very persuasive case that yes, indeed, there is a correlation between incumbency and abuse of power, as well as incumbency and declining electoral competition. Anybody who believes that the weight of the evidence is on the side of those who say "we already have term limits--they're called elections," should take the time to read this short but powerful book. If incumbents can rig the game, if democracy is an empty husk, what we have is not democracy. It's a shell game. Brilliant!
