The President's House Is Empty: Losing and Gaining Public Goods

By Michael Hardt, Elaine Kamarck, Bonnie Honig

Book Overview

What do we owe each other as members of a democratic society? Public goods--from clean water to health care to schools--are under siege in the United States, with access too often restricted by class and race. Against this background, Trump's nearly empty White House symbolizes the crisis we face: our increasing abandonment of the idea of the public. At stake is not only what we owe to each other but who we are.
