Dear John,
Did Joe Biden overreach when he sought to emulate FDR? In the new book Going Big: FDR’s Legacy, Biden’s New Deal, and the Struggle to Save Democracy, out this month, Robert Kuttner makes the case that Biden was right to go big, as a matter of economics and politics. Kuttner, co-founder of the American Prospect and author of 13 books, challenges the view that Biden needs to move to the center and makes a compelling case that New Deal–style boldness can strengthen our multiracial democracy and economy—and take back America from Trumpism.
The Roosevelt Institute is hosting an exclusive virtual launch of the book with Kuttner and The Sum of Us author Heather McGhee, who will discuss the New Deal legacy, its lessons for today, and the potential of this moment. Register here to join us for this timely conversation, co-sponsored by the American Prospect and the New Press.
