Common sense has always been a cornerstone of American politics. In 1776, Tom Paine’s vital pamphlet with that title sparked the American Revolution. And today, common sense—the wisdom of ordinary people, knowledge so self-evident that it is beyond debate—remains a powerful political ideal, utilized alike by George W. Bush’s aw-shucks articulations and Barack Obama’s down-to-earth reasonableness. But far from self-evident is where our faith in common sense comes from and how its populist logic has shaped modern democracy. Common Sense: A Political History is the first book to explore this essential political phenomenon. The story begins in the aftermath of England’s Glorious Revolution, when common sense first became a political ideal worth struggling over. Sophia Rosenfeld’s accessible and insightful account then wends its way across two continents and multiple centuries, revealing the remarkable individuals who appropriated the old, seemingly universal idea of common sense and the new strategic uses they made of it. Paine may have boasted that common sense is always on the side of the people and opposed to the rule of kings, but Rosenfeld demonstrates that common sense has been used to foster demagoguery and exclusivity as well as popular sovereignty. She provides a new account of the transatlantic Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions, and offers a fresh reading on what the eighteenth century bequeathed to the political ferment of our own time. Far from commonsensical, the history of common sense turns out to be rife with paradox and surprise.

"International politics is not a cumulative subject in which the latest book makes all the others obsolete . . .The assumption underlying these pages is that our understanding of international politics is more likely to be improved by reflecting upon and reworking what we already know about the subject, than by topping up our knowledge with either more detailed research or more contemporary analysis. . . "Each of the chapters deals with a different aspect of international theory . . .A discerning reader may become aware of certain unifying threads running through and linking all of the chapters. They have all been written out of a conviction that explanation and not prescription is the only proper role of the political scientist; and they all reflect my skepticism about the 'scientific' nature of international politics." — John C. Garnett In a refreshing and clear analysis, Dr. Garnett looks at the nature of international theory and the problems associated with its development. Drawing from many disciplines, he examines fundamental questions in a new way, giving a measure of commonsense to a subject which has become complicated and esoteric. His use of analogies and quotations bring his subject alive in a study that will be of interest to those involved in both the social sciences and politics.

"The way that movements communicate with the general public matters for their chances of lasting success. Comparing the public discourse on the living wage and marriage equality between 1994 and 2004, Deva Woodly shows that movement-led political change is rooted in whether or not movements are able to gain political acceptance"--

The way that movements communicate with the general public matters for their chances of lasting success. Deva Woodly argues that the potential for movement-led political change is significantly rooted in mainstream democratic discourse and specifically in the political acceptance of new issues by news media, the general public, and elected officials. This is true to some extent for any group wishing to alter status quo distributions of rights and/or resources, but is especially important for grassroots challengers who do not already have a place of legitimated influence in the polity. By examining the talk of two contemporary movements, the living wage and marriage equality, during the critical decade after their emergence between 1994-2004, Woodly shows that while the living wage movement experienced over 120 policy victories and the marriage equality movement suffered many policy defeats, the overall impact that marriage equality had on changing American politics was much greater than that of the living wage because of its deliberate effort to change mainstream political discourse, and thus, the public understanding of the politics surrounding the issue.

Excerpt from Common Sense in Politics More nonsense has been written and orated on the subject of American politics during the past ten years than in any decade of the nation's history. In spite of this, much progress has been made. Important legislation has been effected, rights protected, remedies established, and a general betterment brought about. While these results were being accomplished the country has been treated to the most remarkable outpouring of heated discussion, denunciation, and discrediting of motives that has ever been indulged in in so short a time.

Hollywood executive hammers the "elite political class" in best selling book Is fixing Washington D.C. really that difficult? Media heavyweight Kent Emmons hit's Amazon's #1 best seller list as he dresses down the political and media establishment, offers up some actual 'common sense' solutions while identifying the new undisputed political majority. The political book, Common Sense 80%, reached #1 in Amazon.com in propelling Emmons into the ranks of Best Selling Author. The political landscape in America has never more divisive. For years, the extremes on both the "right" and "left" have hijacked the headlines and both sides have used it to control the narrative and raise a TON of money for their political agendas. But now, the American public has caught on to the manipulative partisan games being played behind the scenes by the political elite pulling the strings and they are feeling "confidently independent" without the need to identify as a "Republican" or "Democrat". Common sense American's on both sides have started to reject the siren of the establishment self-serving political blowhards on both sides and have begun to think for themselves. All of this is not surprising given that all along, over 80% of Americans actually agree on 90% of the same stuff! This book clearly points out that this new mass exodus from party loyalty and toward common sense thinking has created the new absolute political majority. The Common Sense 80%. But, The Common Sense 80% is not the typical one-sided bitching and moaning by partisan pundits that you're used to reading. The book's forward it by Sirius/XM host Andrew Wilkow who Emmons describes as "What Rush Limbaugh is to the old folks, Andrew is to the younger crowd." Inside these pages, with a biting sense of humor and common sense observations, get to explore how the constitution has been twisted and turned over the years, how that sent America hurling down the path of divisive destruction and what common sense steps can actually be taken to fix it. About the Author Often referred to as "the nicest guy in Hollywood", Emmons was born in raised in Rural Southern Illinois. Emmons says he is "a proud Tennessee resident by choice and a Hollywood executive because, well, life can't be perfect". Like many Midwestern kids, Emmons career began with a lemonade stand, working at the gold course and mowing yards. By 14, he was promoting dances and getting on local radio to promote his events. Since early on, he has been active in local, state and national politics. But the foundation of his career has always been media. Over the years he built a media group that has included radio stations, networks and television production, specializing in niche formats. Among them he created and launched the "vacation station" format in top tourist markets around America and as well as created and launched the first ever 24/7 comedy radio format. Quoted as saying, "Real news should not defined as 'right' or 'left' but should be distinguished by truth", Emmons identified a massive gap in the "real news" market. He and a group of fellow business heavyweights have recently created the soon to be launched Crave News, a new 24/7 live digital television news network that will serve up a "new generation of news" to the younger crowd. With the tagline "real news, no bullshit" Crave News will be the digital home of 'un-apologetic truth' wrapped in a fun, VERY edgy, real and raw live interactive format.
