He looks unsparingly at the sea of troubles in which the United States now finds itself, charts a course through the discouragement and despair commonly felt today, and envisions what he calls America the Possible, an attractive and plausible future that we can still realize. The book identifies a dozen features of the American political economy-the country's basic operating system-where transformative change is essential. It spells out the specific changes that are needed to move toward a new political economy-one in which the true priority is to sustain people and planet. Supported by a compelling ";theory of change"; that explains how system change can come to America, the book also presents a vision of political, social, and economic life in a renewed America. Speth envisions a future that will be well worth fighting for. In short, this is a book about the American future and the strong possibility that we yet have it in ourselves to use our freedom and our democracy in powerful ways to create something fine, a reborn America, for our children and grandchildren. 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States 606 $aProgressivism (United States politics) 606 $aSocial justice$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aProgressivism (United States politics) 615 0$aSocial justice 676 $a338.973 686 $aPOL024000$aPOL044000$aBUS022000$aBUS072000$aBUS099000$2bisacsh 700 $aSpeth$b James Gustave$01600496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821721003321 996 $aAmerica the possible$94075966 997 $aUNINA
