This book argues that America's inability to tackle major challenges stems from a "vetocracy" where any group can block progress, a problem exacerbated by progressives' own fear of wielding power. Dunkelman traces how this shift from "getting stuff done" to "speaking truth to power" has eroded faith in government and created space for populism. It's a deep dive for anyone frustrated by gridlock and seeking a way to reignite our nation's capacity for large-scale achievement.
