The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority

FEATURING D.D. GUTTENPLAN – In our ongoing attempt to make sense of the US under Donald Trump, we turn today to the author of a new book that promises hope that a concerted group of dedicated Americans can salvage the nation out of the President’s vice-grip. D. D. Guttenplan was the lead reporter during the 2016 election for The Nation magazine and his new book, The Next Republic, chronicles how nine activists have worked to change the course of the US and how their work offers a path for survival.
