لماذا لا شيء ينجح؟ من قتل التقدم - وكيفية إعادته

A provocative exploration of the forces that hold us back from getting things done, and how we can restore trust in government. “Dunkleman sums up history perfectly.” \- David Brooks, _The New York Times._ Chosen as a best book of the year by the _Financial Times_ _The Economist_ . America was once a country that accomplished great things. But today, even as we face a host of pressing challenges – housing shortages, the climate crisis, crumbling infrastructure – we feel stuck. As Mark J. reveals: Dunkelman, America is the victim of a system of government that allows almost anyone to stifle progress. While conservatives deserve some blame, progressives have overlooked an unexpected culprit: their fears of the “establishment.” Half a century ago, reformers began to prioritize speaking truth to power over exercising that power for good. Now, the resulting gridlock has undermined trust in public institutions of all kinds and opened the door to “Make America Great Again”-style populism. Why Nothing Works reveals the roots of this dilemma and boldly shows how progressives can build a better future for everyone again.
