"What will sell the book?" 1. Every citizen should have at least elementary knowledge about how the political systems were created and work. There are no such books yet. That is why this book was written. 2. Politics is exercised on various societal levels, from clans and tribes, pre-agricultural societies to modern governments. The art of ruling was the base of politics. The book focuses on the methods and tools of politics, their development and perfection in the process of societal progress. The material of existing books is not persuasive. 3. Various political methods are explained based on psychological principles of motivation affecting human behavior. The criterion approach is used to explain the behavior of politicians. In contrast to the existing books on politics this book shows how efficient political methods can influence voters behavior. 4. Most existing books about politics use historical material which alone is insufficient to explain changes in political methods and especially political tools. This book considers in details methods and tools used in politics, their development and efficiency. Special attention is paid to the tools related to the information technology and social media as a powerful political tool. The book pursues the goal – to enrich readers' knowledge about politics. The U.S. 2020 election and related events raised concerns about the polarization of American society and the future of the most powerful democratic country. In a torrent of information and misinformation it is difficult for ordinary people to separate truth from lies and, as a result, to make the right choice participating in the future elections. Partially, this can be explained by the absence of books concerning the methods and tools used in politics for persons without any special knowledge in this area. There are no books analyzing political tools and methods and their influence on the societal development. The new book "American Marxism" by M. Levine, which for a short period was bought by more than 1,5 million readers explains the political polarization referring to the Marx theory. However, the changes in American society have nothing common with Marx's theory. Now nobody reads Marx and the reasons of the polarization are different. This book explains them and this is very important for people to know, especially before the future 2022 and 2024 elections. By learning the political methods and tools readers will be able to evaluate properly political proposals and positions, to filter better social media information. The author has published 8 books and over 100 papers and is an editor of 15 books and a reviewer of several journals. He is included in "Who's Who in America," "Who's Who in Science and Engineering," and "Who's Who in American Education," as well as "International Professional of the Year 2008" and "2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century."
