We Can Have a Better Country: A Progressive Reader's Guide

The U.S. political system and the resulting economy are not serving us well and are serving us a little worse each year. The primary reason for this is the influence of money in politics - our democracy is broken. The start on the road to a better country is when enough of us realize this. Next we will have to realize that change is possible, but that it is unlikely unless we change our politics. Having many disparate groups each fighting alone for its own small piece of progressive change, be it regarding climate change, social justice, or whatever, has little chance of significant success. It is time to work together! This book weaves together material from the many fine books on individual pieces of this tapestry - the state of our current political economy, how we got to this point, and the pathway to a better country.
