Author and Brown University fellow Marc Dunkelman believes America is stuck – unable to move the needle on big things that need fixing. In his latest book, “Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress – And How to Bring it Back,” Dunkelman examines what progressives must do to correct this and restore confidence in democratically elected government. Marc was in Seattle recently as DSA’s State of Downtown keynote speaker and joined Jon to talk about how the work of Robert Moses and a trip to Penn Station sparked the idea of this book; the tension in the progressive movement over the role of government; the cultural aversion to power and more. He’s been featured in The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The New York Times, on MSNBC, CNN and other outlets. Join us for Seattle City Makers with Jon Scholes and guest Marc Dunkelman.
