¹ Austin Ranney, Curing the Mischiefs of Faction: Party Reform in America (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1975). Rosenblum covers much of the same territory, and especially in her analysis of the Progressive critiques, goes well beyond Ranney's otherwise fine survey. Of course, he wrote that book in part in reaction against the Democratic reforms on the McGovern-Fraser Commission on which he served (and, on at least some key points, evidently lost!).

² Mancur Olson, The Rise and Decline of Nations: Economic Growth, Stagflation, and Social Rigidities (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1982).

³ Southern Politics in State and Nation (New York: A. A. Knopf, 1949).

⁴ Will Rogers's Democratic Party may have been disorganized by compromising so as to include genuinely nondemocratic parts.
