The United States is a failing country. Political leaders at all levels have failed to effectively solve the many crises we face such as the climate crisis, economic insecurity and growing inequality, and the need for affordable housing, education, and health care, and more. Action at the local level, where people have the most control, offers a pathway forward.

Shuman explains how decentralized action works, the principles involved, and how it offers a radical new politics that can heal the current polarization of our society.
