It's a long-standing pattern: elite workers spurn public jobs, while less skilled workers cling to government work as a refuge from a harsh private economy. Donahue documents government's isolation from the rest of the U.S. economy and arrays the stark choices we confront for narrowing, or accommodating, the divide between public and private work.

Besides being cruel and inhumane, torture does not work the way torturers assume it does.
