Synopsis:

America is in transition, even if the executive branch is not. Belying the comfortable metaphor of George Bush's "friendly takeover", great changes are occurring. Hence this volume, where 58 authors offer their ideas to the new president and congress. This volume aims to demonstrate that the progressive mainstream has a governing agenda based on five pre-eminent values - strong democracy, demand-side growth, children first, post cold war peace and respect for law-values - much at odds with prevailing conservative orthodoxy.
