The book is a thoughtful reminder that politics is often simply a contest over finite resources in which different voters want opposing things. ---John McDermott, Financial Times, "An important contribution to a field dominated by group-oriented explanations." ---Christopher Weber, Political Science Quarterly, The book makes an interesting contribution to our understanding of political attitudes and is accessible to a wide audience interested in political science. . . . The Hidden Agenda of the Political Mind answers an important question and provides new depth to many of the popular theories on opinion formation and partisan attachments. . . . By showing how self-interest factors into our decision making in ways we do not even consciously understand and how political parties exploit that to their advantage and by doing so in a way that is accessible outside an academic audience, the authors will likely make a significant contribution to the general understanding of public opinion. ---Chad Murphy, The Journal of Politics, "The book is a thoughtful reminder that politics is often simply a contest over finite resources in which different voters want opposing things." --John McDermott, Financial Times, [O]ne of the most interesting books I have read on politics in quite a while. . . .

Synopsis
Why your political views are more self-serving than you think When it comes to politics, we often perceive our own beliefs as fair and socially beneficial, while seeing opposing views as merely self-serving. But in fact most political views are governed by self-interest, even if we usually don't realize it. Challenging our fiercely held notions about what motivates us politically, this book explores how self-interest divides the public on a host of hot-button issues, from abortion and the legalization of marijuana to same-sex marriage, immigration, affirmative action, and income redistribution. Expanding the notion of interests beyond simple economics, Jason Weeden and Robert Kurzban look at how people's interests clash when it comes to their sex lives, social status, family, and friends. Drawing on a wealth of data, they demonstrate how different groups form distinctive bundles of political positions that often stray far from what we typically think of as liberal or conservative. They show how we engage in unconscious rationalization to justify our political positions, portraying our own views as wise, benevolent, and principled while casting our opponents' views as thoughtless and greedy. While many books on politics seek to provide partisans with new ways to feel good about their own side, The Hidden Agenda of the Political Mind illuminates the hidden drivers of our politics, even if it's a picture neither side will find flattering.
