We hunger for answers, yet too often turn to the same people and institutions, somehow expecting different outcomes. How can this be? This book takes a different angle. It features award-winning social innovators from all walks of life with decades of experience of working in and with their communities across America. In twenty two deep, idea-packed conversations, they share their analysis, practical insights, and policy recommendations-on how to gain common ground, get the country unstuck, and increase prosperity and wellbeing for all. What their narratives have in common: they see community members -- workers, young people, parents, neighbors, from Appalachia to Silicon Valley, from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes - not as weak or dependent, but as creative, resourceful, and strong, with unique expertise and lived experience of the problem at hand, whose changemaking energy can be tapped to build a better future for all of us"-- |
