Description
We are in an age of epic political turbulence in America. Old
hierarchies and institutions are collapsing. From the election of Donald
Trump to the upending of the major political parties to the spread of
grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter and $15 Now, people across
the country and across the political spectrum are reclaiming power.
Are you ready for this age of bottom-up citizen power? Do you
understand what power truly is, how it flows, who has it, and how you
can claim and exercise it?
Eric Liu, who has spent a career
practicing and teaching civic power, lays out the answers in this
incisive, inspiring, and provocative book. Using examples from the left
and the right, past and present, he reveals the core laws of power. He
shows that all of us can generate power-and then, step by step, he shows
us how. The strategies of reform and revolution he lays out will help
every reader make sense of our world today. If you want to be more than a
spectator in this new era, you need to read this book.
