Handmaking America

by Bill Ivey
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
America has survived an economic near–disaster. While the state of employment and housing will one day improve, we will never return to the delusional prosperity that defined the first decade of the 21st century. Progressives should hold the key to quality of life in our coming post–consumerist society, but today Democrats have become timid, our vision of the good life marginalized by three decades of partisan attacks and the think tank–induced assumption that an unfettered marketplace, low taxes, and international adventurism will somehow give us an America capable of inspiring the world. Handmaking America, reaches back to the Arts–and–Crafts roots of progressive thought, confronting the way right–wing ideology and the power of post–industrial capitalism have undermined work, government; our very way of life, advancing a practical, achievable vision for a good society that can use the capacity of government to recover the essential strength of the American idea.

America has survived an economic near–disaster. While the state of employment and housing will one day improve, we will never return to the delusional prosperity that defined the first decade of the 21st century. Progressives should hold the key to quality of life in our coming post–consumerist society, but today Democrats have become timid, our vision of the good life marginalized by three decades of partisan attacks and the think tank–induced assumption that an unfettered marketplace, low taxes, and international adventurism will somehow give us an America capable of inspiring the world. Handmaking America, reaches back to the Arts–and–Crafts roots of progressive thought, confronting the way right–wing ideology and the power of post–industrial capitalism have undermined work, government; our very way of life, advancing a practical, achievable vision for a good society that can use the capacity of government to recover the essential strength of the American idea.
