Predisposed 2nd Edition

Bold new lens on why we vote, believe, and behave the way we do — presented with clarity and rigor. Predisposed, 2nd Edition by John R. Hibbing, Kevin B. Smith, and John R. Alford offers a compelling, research-driven exploration of how biology, environment, and psychology interact to shape political behavior.
