Greg Weiner has worked in the United States Senate as an aide to three senators and is now assistant professor of political science at Assumption College.
Greg Weiner’s meticulous and felicitously-written scholarship
illuminates a great constant in Madison's long career—an interest
in institutional architecture to increase the likelihood that
majority rule, which is inevitable, will be reasonable." - George
F. Will
"A fresh and exciting work that convincingly demonstrates an
underlying consistency in Madison’s republicanism that both
complements and challenges familiar interpretations." - Drew McCoy,
author of The Last of the Fathers: James Madison and the Republican
Legacy
"Conceptually shrewd and eloquent, Weiner’s nuanced reading of
Madison will last because it is the one most faithful to Madison’s
writings and because it best captures the spirit of the man." -
Alan Gibson, author of Interpreting the Founding and Understanding
the Founding
"An illuminating work that merits the attention of historians as
well as theorists." - Todd Estes, author of The John Jay Treaty
Debate, Public Opinion, and the Evolution of Early American
Political Culture
"In Madison’s Metronome Greg Weiner demonstrates Madison’s enduring
commitment to majority rule-majority decision improved in quality
by slowing it down, not by blocking it or substituting some form of
elite control. Madison’s Metronome is a timely reply to those who
insist our political system is ‘broken’ because fundamental changes
can’t be accomplished quickly." - James H. Read, author of Majority
Rule versus Consensus: The Political Thought of John C. Calhoun
