The Future of American Progressivism: An Initiative for Political and Economic Reform by Cornel West (PDF)

Description

Unless Americans prove themselves willing to be as open-minded about the institutional arrangements of the country as they have been about almost everything else, they will continue to find their hopes frustrated. It is not enough to rebel against the lack of justice unless we also rebel against the lack of imagination.Roberto Mangabeira Unger and Cornel West argue that the path to progressive reform goes through reorganization of our economic and political instutitions; tax and spending are not enough. Breaking with the conventional ideas of American progressive politics, they show how we can stimulate economic growth and guarantee a minimum of resources for all citizens.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review These two Harvard professors want the left to think hard again about real economic and political issues. . . . They have specific proposals, which they throw out for debate: they would ‘reenergize’ democracy . . . [and] ‘democratize the market.’ –The Economist”A thin volume packed with solutions to solving our nation’s inequities.” –Ebony About the Author Roberto Mangabeira Unger, Harvard Law School professor and one of two “godfathers of the loosely organized leftist challenge to orthodox economic reform” (Institutional Investor), is author of Democracy Realized and other books. Cornel West, the “preeminent African-American intellectual of our generation” (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.), is author of many books, including the best-selling Race Matters and, with Sylvia Ann Hewlitt, The War Against Parents. He is Alphonse Fletcher, Jr., University Professor at Harvard University.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐What the two authors don’t tell you is that for a true Stalinist Revolution to take place – the entire middle class would have to be destroyed or is that what their actually calling for.To learn about the vermin also known as progressives, statists and liberals buy American Progressivism or The Forgotten Man.

⭐Unger and West carefully, methodically characterize current American socio-economic circumstances to build their case for a new era of American progressivism which is based on the “religion of possibility.” It is an inspired attempt to encourage all Americans to begin thinking differently, imaginatively, about the situations that keep the nation from being truly democratic. Extremely thorough, this book is a challenge to us all to seek out alternatives to the status quo. It is a challenge to leaders to serve the best interests of the nation as opposed to the special interest groups who line their pockets. I only wish Cornel West would run for president. I don’t know who else would stand up for what is morally, politically, and socially correct. I’d drop everything to campaign for him….
