Book Chat: How Government Built America

As conservatives like to tell our history, America became “great” through individualism, self-reliance, and a small government that stayed out of everybody’s way. For them, these values have always been, and should always be, part of our national DNA.
But that’s not the case, as Shapiro and Tomain lay out in How Government Built America. In this webinar, the book’s authors share their research and insights about the government’s crucial role in building environmental policy, strengthening social safety nets, and entrenching the goals of social movements into public policy. They are joined by Rogan Kersh of New York University.
