+"The Three Political Cultures" by Daniel J Elazar
+
+"The US is...inhabited by a single people of great diversity."
+It has a single political culture and many subcultures.
+
+Policital culture:
+    Patterns of political attitudes
+    Expectations of purpose/nature of government and poli. process
+    Who works in the government
+    Interacting with government and civic behavior (ethics, conscience,)
+
+The US's three subcultures:
+    Each tied to an original region and carried by migration. Systems of
+    "marketplace and the commonwealth"
+    Each is a framework rather than an absolute set of ideas, and
+    changes over time like other cultures
+    - Individualistic
+        Government is a service to people and doesn't have goals other
+        than serving its people individually.
+        Keep private activities private, and the government should only
+        regulate public activities (like economic marketplace), but be
+        small gov't
+        Politics is viewed as a career and a way to better oneself (be
+        compensated) by providing good services for the public.
+        Political life is a system of mutual obligations, on a
+        person-to-person basis for small org but person-to-party basis
+        for federal or state (for ex.)
+        Okay with corruption and limited ideological purity. Deal-making
+        and maintaining a mostly beneficial political system for
+        constituents is viewed as best practice.
+    - Moralistic
+        Government is focused on developing commonwealth or "greater
+        good."
+        Morality of politicians is important because the trades that
+        happen are means to establish a good society.
+        Community and gov't (if necessary) can intervene in private life
+        if for public welfare. (Communitarian)
+        Many believe that greater good can be best served by community
+        involvement, wary of government encroachment, and economically.
+        Sometimes support social intervention like censorship.
+        Party regularity is unimportant because politicians are expected
+        to work towards a good society, regardless of nonpartisan, third
+        party, or even cross-party alliance.
+        Amateur participation is expected because politics is not
+        supposed to be a profitable business, and corruption deterred.
+        Support and accept increased government footprint, and allow
+        bureaucracy and merit systems.
+    - Traditionalistic
+        "Paternalistic and elitist conception of the commonwealth"
+        Government maintains a strict hierarchy and supports itself as a
+        small group of established elite with family ties or social
+        position.
+        Expects that any (even minimal) participant in political culture
+        have a definite role to play and gain personally (although not
+        always pecuniarily).
+        Believe that political parties are unimportant except to recruit
+        for undesirable offices.
+        Political leaders are "conservative and custodial"
+        Anti-bureaucratic, support informal relationship-based systems
+        to maintain the hierarchy (because bureaucracy -> merit).
+
+Geographically, established early in the colonies. DC, VA, PA area
+individualistic. North is moralistic and South is traditional. These
+typically extend westward, and the individualistic tribe is less
+established than the other two, but very often mixes with moralistic.
+
+Interactions:
+    - moralistic + individualistic balance each other's respective
+      tendencies to overreach into personal life and to allow society to
+      degrade.
+    - traditionalistic order, while often damaging to opressed groups,
+      helps create (when functioning properly) a benevolent elite for
+      political power but has the same danger as oligarchy.
