Marc Dunkelman on his new book, Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress―and How to Bring It Back
In his book "Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring It Back," Marc J. Dunkleman claims that the progressive movement's turn in the 1960s toward distrust of centralized power rendered government incompetent, opening the door to strongman politics. He argues that progressives must balance their Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian impulses to find ways to execute big projects while preserving individual rights.
