Today I have the privilege of welcoming Marc Dunkelman to the podcast. Marc is a research fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University and the author of a new book, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Why-Nothing-Works-Killed-Progress_and/dp/154170021X">Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring it Back</a>. We begin by discussing a key premise of his book: progressivism is, and always has been, split between a Hamiltonian impulse to push power up and a Jeffersonian impulse to push power down. Marc describes how the later impulse took over left-wing movements by the late 60s and has produced a government that seems startlingly ineffective. How did the "establishment" become so hated? How can our government prove that it is a capable institution? Will Trump’s failures give Democrats an easy out and stop a needed course correction? Tune in for a great conversation on all that and more.A transcript of this podcast is available on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.liberalpatriot.com/p/363002dc-8f8c-4f94-aedb-4bc6a620bd65">post page</a> on our website.
