At a time of tea parties and rallies to restore sanity, the political debate
in America has become nothing more than a shouting match of various
soundbites. This book offers a refreshing change by introducing both
conservative arguments and liberal responses in a dispassionate and
clear manner. Focusing on the issues that ail the economy under the
Obama administration and their possible remedies, the book offers
substantiated facts and rational arguments on each side, to promote true
debate.
Chapters on Obamas response to the financial crisis, regulated market,
green economy, need for reform and more offer a true assessment of the
problems at hand and propose a progressive alternative to each of the
key issues, frm foreclosures to entitlement reform. In addition, two
appendices provide additional, in-depth information on the roots of the
crisis and an economics primer accessible to the lay person.
An engaging read, Making the Progressive Case will appeal to anyone
interested in America's politics and economic future, and will help us
move beyond the partisan quagmire to bring forth political change.
