…doing more good in America…

Book review:

American Character:

A History of the Epic Struggle

Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good

Colin Woodard (b1968)

Journalist

New York: Viking, 2016

308 pages

American Character is intuitive and informative analysis of what makes Americans tick, politically.

Woodard says we need to promote “fairness” in all its meanings if we want a shot at changing the success stories of Trump/laissez fair Republicans/Tea Party/the oligarchs. I reluctantly use the word “fairness” without any pretense of conveying the fullness of his meaning. It means a lot, in different ways—seriously, meaningfully, it’s different strokes for different folks.

I’m gonna read American Character again.

It’s easy to understand what Woodard is saying. He offers a sane and credible strategy for doing more good in America for all Americans.
