The Radical Center: The Future of American Politics - Softcover

"Hats off to Halstead and Lind for . . . rising above policy blather and advocating some unconventional things." --The New York Times Book Review

"A political manifesto worthy of the Information Age."-Senator John McCain

"A provocative read . . . The book demonstrates that the center need not be a tepid or uncreative spot on the political spectrum. It can be an unpredictable place where intelligent people stir up controversy and offer genuinely unorthodox proposals for change." -The Washington Post Book World

"A bold and refreshing perspective on the challenges aheadÉ This is a short, pithy book, but it packs a powerful intellectual punch." -The Washington Times

" Part historical tract, part policy agenda, part visionary manifesto, The Radical Center is . . . a bracing alternative to the poll-obsessed, cliché-ridden volumes that roll out of Washington think tanks." -New York Observer

Two members of the New America Foundation introduce a sweeping manifesto for the reform of American political, economic, and social policies to meet the interests and needs of the vast numbers of the new, centrist, majority of Americans, calling for a new tax system, the end of the two-party system, and a new approach to education, family, and community.
