Why Nothing Works by Marc J. Dunkelman
Why Nothing Works examines why the United States struggles to tackle major problems despite past capacity for large public projects. Marc J. Dunkelman argues that a modern “vetocracy”—rules and norms that let many actors block action—has produced paralysis, and that both political opponents and reform-minded progressives share responsibility. He calls for progressives to rethink their hesitations about using government power, revive a pragmatic reformist tradition, and restore public confidence in democratically elected institutions.
