    This complete summary of "Spanking the Donkey" by Matt Taibbi, a renowned political correspondent, presents his cutting and hilarious collection of observations from the campaign trial of 2004 Democratic primaries. He argues that the process of picking a president in America values superficiality over substance and hence a thoughtful, intelligent and substantive candidate doesn’t stand a chance in this framework that resembles a reality-based TV show.

    • Understand the American democratic process and its shortcomings
    • Expand your knowledge of American politics and culture

    To learn more, read "Spanking the Donkey" and discover how the process of electing a president in America often values superficiality over substance, and why this needs to change.
