Listen to the author speak on some of the book’s themes:
How a Green New Deal can employ millions while addressing climate change and positioning the United States for global leadership in sustainable technology.
What are the myths about America’s federal debt and what should really be done about it?
How U.S. corporations—which are outsourcing jobs in search of the cheapest labor—can be transformed by a political grand bargain: creating worker equity in place of the corporate income tax.
How unions and government created America’s middle class, how free market capitalism is destroying it, and how the middle class can fight back.
How bloated military spending, including the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, has depleted the middle class and how those resources can be used instead to rebuild American manufacturing and infrastructure, creating sustainable and productive jobs for all.
Why free market capitalism is not a good model for school reform and what it will take to create a world class education system.
