Publisher's Synopsis
"America is in transition, even if the executive branch is not. Belying the comfortable metaphor of George Bush's 'friendly takeover' of the Reagan Administration, great changes are occurring both in our country and world. For George Bush, George Mitchell and Jim Wrightóour national leaders as we enter the 1990sóthe era of avoidance is over. In America's Transition: Blueprints for the 1990s, 58 authors in 38 chapters offer their best ideas to the new President and Congress. This volume demonstrates that the progressive mainstream has a governing agenda based on five preeminent valuesóstrong democracy, demand-side growth, children first, post-cold war peace and respect for lawóvalues as much at odds with prevailing conservative orthodoxy as Copernicus was from Ptolemy."ófrom Mark Green's ^IIntroduction Distributed by arrangement with the Democracy Project.^R
